6. The Isenheim Effect

Episode 6
2

Matthias Grunewald was one of the greatest painters ever to live, known for his Isenheim Altarpiece. But you may not know that this masterpiece was created for the most broken people of its time. In this special Good Friday episode, we meditate on the cross as a mirror, in what we’re calling The Isenheim Effect. 

Also in this episode, we present the poem “April Prelude” by Maya Clubine. Now, here is the Scripture Sam prayed at the beginning to fit this episode:

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:15-16

Our hope is that as you are able to see God reflecting your brokenness, you are able to rest in it with Him. This is the true ministry and power of art.
