Swedish parishioners unveil Lego statue of Jesus

The 6-foot-tall statue, a copy of Thorvaldsen's "Resurrected Christ", has taken parishioners 1.5 years to construct out of 30.000 tiny plastic pieces (JONAS EKSTROMER / AP)

My first response to this news article was, "Well, this puts a new spin on 'don't play with God'." But then I could not help but marvel at the art and dedication of the parishioners who accomplished this unusual task. I still had questions though, like Why? What was their motivation or inspiration? And Who? Who was the initiator or artist that conceived such a idea? And finally,
What would Jesus say?
Being Easter Day it seems to matter more what He would say? Jesus said, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. And then He asks us the question, Believest thou this? (John 11:25-26) This question makes me realize, it is not my questions that need answering, but His.
Hey Chere Keep up the good work a it makes for very interesting reading. I always knew that you were a great teacher...
