Vincent van Gogh on Jesus
The Complete Letters of Vincent van Gogh L127, Written Dec 26, 1878 (NY Graphic Society, 1958), I:184.
Jesus Christ is the Master who can comfort and Strengthen a man, a
laborer and working man whose life is hard — because he is the
Great Man of Sorrows who knows our ills, who was called a carpenter's
son, though he was the Son of God, who worked for thirty years, in a
carpenter's shop to fulfill God's will. And God wills that in imitation
of Christ man should live humble and go through life not reaching for
the sky, but adapting himself to the earth below, learning from the
Gospel to be meek and simple of heart.
