Jenamarie Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Was anyone touched by just the cover of this issue? I always love it when they put a picture of the Savior on the cover, but this particular picture, with the article tagline of "He Can Heal Us, Every One" in the corner just struck my heart so strongly. I haven't even opened it up yet, and already the Spirit has been brought my strongly into my home by just the cover. Quote
Celica Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I love the Ensign!! I look forward to it every month!! Quote
sixpacktr Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 But......we're a cult! How can we have a picture of Christ on the cover of our monthly magazine when it is so APPARENT that we worship ol' Joe Smith! oh, that's right: OUR Jesus isn't the same as THEIR Jesus.... Sarcasm aside, I have read several articles already, and it is great. Sis Beck's talk about the doctrine of families is very timely... Quote
pam Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 I just got mine today. Really looking forward to reading it. Quote
ryanh Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Too bad you aren't in Utah. The original of that painting (which is titled Christus Consolator, painted in 1884) is on display at BYU through May 7th. Carl Bloch: The Master's HandThe focal point of the exhibition is five large altar paintings. One of these works is Christ Healing the Sick at Bethesda, which has become the signature piece of the museum since its acquisition in September 2001. The other four altar paintings have been gathered from churches in Denmark and Sweden. These paintings have been removed for the first time since they were originally installed in the late 1800s.

It's a really, really beautiful painting. I may want to get a print of it for my house (if they sell them). Quote
scdoyle Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 While she liked the cover, my wife's said that it looked very "Catholic". Quote
Guest DeborahC Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Funny you'd ask. I picked this up yesterday from my mailbox, and spent quite some time just studying the cover. It is striking, for me as well. Quote
