DAVID
GOATLEY ABOUT THE WORDS
"Words are very powerful. They build up or tear down. Inspire or
destroy.Enoble or demean. They can bring life or demand death. Some
words have the power to transform,to bring meaning, purpose and new
life-hope where there was none and joy where there is every reason for
sadness. Those words are The Words,the words God spoke when he became
a man ,the words of Jesus. This web site and the printed versions of
this precious text, present those words in a way that lets them speak
to us in our own languages. You could search the web for the rest of
your life and find no words more effective than these. "

David painted
this study of Christ surrounded by a small group of homeless me
in 1995. A fire warms the men beneath a city bridge. Do they realize
that it is Christ who is talking with them? Or, like the two followers
on the road to Emmaus (see Luke's Gospel, Chapter 24, verse 13
- 32), are they enjoying the company of this kind stranger, their
hearts burning as he speaks to their most intimate need and sorrow?

David's painting
of the man from Galilee has become a favourite to many. There
is a reflective attitude to his Christ. Here is a man of his time,
strong, yet approachable, listening, with understanding emanating
from his gaze.
