Divine Restoration Analogy of Raphael and Christ
A preacher compares restoring a ruined Raphael painting to the Christian claim that Jesus heals sin. He presents a divine restorer who can erase defacement and restore original power, paralleling Christ’s crucifixion as healing wounds. The message urges choosing restoration over continued defacement, citing biblical grace. The sermon ends with a reflection on returning to Monday after Sunday.
