About this image
Good Night -- Rest in the arms of Jesus. This tender and deeply consoling vertical image shows Jesus the Good Shepherd holding a sleeping lamb against his chest under a starry night sky -- the lamb completely still, completely trusting, completely at peace in those arms. This is the nighttime image of Christian devotion at its most intimate and most true: the soul as the sleeping lamb, held through the dark hours by the Shepherd who never sleeps. The image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd is one of the oldest in Christian art, found in the catacombs of Rome from the second and third centuries -- before the cross became the central Christian symbol, it was this: a young man with a sheep over his shoulders, carrying the lost one home. Jesus himself gave this image in the parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:4-7): "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home." The sleeping lamb in this image is not lost -- it is found, held, safe. This is the good night of those who know they are held. John 10:11 carries the most personal statement: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." He laid down his life. And now he holds you through the night. "He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart" (Isaiah 40:11). Free HD download.
