Happy Jesus - One in Christ" by Fan Pu

Jesus walked the Earth for only 33 years and the Bible records many stories of his sadness, pain, and righteous indignation. He came into the World in order to save mankind, but His contemporaries fundamentally misunderstood this. But when is Jesus full of joy? I believe it is only through the completion of the Church on Earth, when we become the bride of Christ, and Christ the joyous groom comes to receive the bride. In this work I have used paper to cut all different kinds of people who symbolize the different races, ages, and generations that have received the Gospel by arranging these figures to constitute the body of Jesus, I am visually expressing that those who believe in Christ are in fact the body of Christ - the Church. Torn bits of paper represent the head of Jesus, indicating that He is the Head of the Church.
