Ken was a great artist. He sat down to paint the picture of the Last Supper in Canvas. For each Apostle he chose a person and drew the picture. Finally only two places were to be filled up — that of Christ and Judas. Ken wandered around the city to find a Christlike face. Finally he saw a young man teaching Sunday Class to kids. He waited and talked to the man about posing as Christ. The young man, Daniel agreed happily. So he came to Ken’s studio and Christ’s place was filled up. Ken was very happy. Now, only Judas’ place was vacant. Ken wandered around looking at faces. He went to slums and prisons, hangouts and clubs with no luck. Two years passed by. One day when Ken was passing by a pub he saw a man drinking. His face was cruel and hard; eyes bloodshot and bulging. He thought this man would be ideal to take the place of Judas. He walked in and befriended the man. He agreed to pose as Judas and came with Ken to the studio.
Work started. Midway through the painting the man’s eyes glistened with tears. Then the drops rolled down. Ken was taken aback. “What made this man cry? Have I hurt him?” Even as Ken was trying to figure out the reason the man spoke in a stuttering voice, “Don’t you recognize me?” Ken was puzzled. Where had he seen this man? “I am Daniel,” said the man. I posed as Christ for your picture two years ago. Now I am posing as Judas. I left Christ. I gave in to temptations and started to smoke and drink with bad friends. All other vices followed. I was like Christ and now I have become like Judas.” He hid his face in his hands and wept unashamedly.
Ken put his hands around his shoulders and spoke to him softly and brought him back to Christ.
Are you Christ-like or Judas-like?
