Since posting about a picture of Jesus holding an unborn baby that I came across on the internet and asking if anyone knew any more about it, my friend Jenni replied in my comments with a bit more information that she'd found. Her comment gave me the idea to try a few more things in my internet search which yielded some results.
This is a complete picture of the painting:
The painting is called In His Image and is by the artist Beth Sweigard. It is actually a picture of Jesus holding an aborted baby and is meant to show Jesus' sorrow over the millions of abortions performed every year.
However, when I look at this picture, I still see Jesus holding my much-loved, much-wanted little daughters in his hand. I don't mean to minimize the horror of abortion with my words, but that baby looks so much like my little girls that I see Jesus' love for them in this painting, and it brings me comfort.

Thank you, Melanie! I dont think you are minimizing the horror of abortion at all.. I think it is a beautiful painting and special for both reasons.. Hugs!
I think that the painting will touch different people differently, and that is the beauty of it. It is multi-faceted, with the overriding emotion being the fact that Jesus shares our grief.
((((HUGS)))) to you, Melanie.
