If you haven't heard about "Reflections of Christ" you are really missing out. Photographer Mark Mabry photographed recreations of scenes from Christ's life and ministry, and the photographs are so beautiful and touching. They really strengthened my testimony of the Savior and His love for me because they really brought him to life. I was especially touched by "Healing" where Christ is healing a blind man. The interaction between Christ and the blind man is so incredible, and it makes me feel like I'm intruding on a tender, sacred moment meant to be just between them. You can see the whites on the man's knuckles where he is gripping Christ's robe, and if you look closely, you can see the goosebumps all over his arms. And there is so much love and caring in Christ's face - you can see how much he loves the man, and all of us for that matter. One of my favorites that I find my self getting lost in time and again is "Resurrection." It is a photograph of the resurrected Christ wearing white robes standing with his back to the camera, looking into the distance. His hands are by his sides, and you can just see the nail prints in his palms. The photograph is just amazing and has so much power. I'm actually going to buy a large print and have it matted and framed and below the print I'm going to have a space for Isaiah 49:16 "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands."
If you go to the website you can see the photographs, and there is also a slideshow of the photos set the the most beautiful version of "Come Thou Fount" I have ever heard. I loved it so much I bought the Reflections of Christ soundtrack on iTunes (its all wonderful). I encourage all of you to go to the website and watch the slideshow. I know you will grow closer to your Savior. I know He lives. I know He loves us all more than we'll ever be able to understand.

I especially love the interaction between christ and the blind man too. Imagine my surprise when Nate told me his uncle is the blind man. SO COOL!
