"Piss Christ"

This is the "piss Christ" a work of art that profeesor Corrigan shouwed in


 class by Andres Serrano.
             When I first saw this in class I was fine with the fact that Jesus was just on the cross, but when professor Corrigan told us what the name of the piece of art was I was really upset. "Piss Christ? Really? Why would someone create a work of crap like this," was my initial reaction. At the beginning of the discussion I was fine with the work of art because It kind of just looked like Jesus on a cross with like fire surrounding Him or maybe the presence of God shining on Him.  When I found out what the name of this was I immediately got extremely offensive. I thought that the author was an atheist and did not like Christianity at all. I believed that the person who drew this has a hard time in believing who Jesus actually is. Then the class began to discuss it, and I gained a better understanding of what this picture actually meant, and it made me realize how God truly feels.
            As humans we tend to want to do things our way, and if we don't get to do it "our way" then we throw a fit like a little 5 year old. And I'm not going to even lie because honestly I have to catch myself sometimes. As I grew up I was the baby girl, and I usually got the things that I wanted, maybe not right when I wanted it, but I usually got it eventually. When it come to God we act the same exact way. When He tells us to do something we should be ecstatic that God Almighty is even talking to us and giving us direction, but all some people think about are themselves and hat they want out of life. When doing so it is sort of like we are "pissing" on Christ. It's like we're saying forget what you say because I want to do it my way. When I gained this revelation I almost wanted to cry because I thought about God's feelings for a brief moment, and how He felt when we disobeyed Him. I mean aren't we supposed to be His children? Because some of us don't eve act like it. In all, don't "piss" on Christ! I know we aren't perfect and God knows that it is impossible for us to be, so just obey Him because I bet that would make Him happy :)

  1. This post was very good. I felt the same way when they said the was Christ in piss. This drawing or painting shows me that sometimes people just treat Christ like piss. We tend to forget about and forget that he has everything under control. This painting really opened up my eyes to a better understanding. Thanks for this post :)
