This picture reminds me of a song that people would sing at my old church for special music. Do you remember this one?
Champion of Love
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention.
I want to introduce to you,
in this corner,
of the good and the right.
Stands a champion robed in white,
his height exceeds the heavens.
His weight, out weighs the world,
his reach reaches every where.
His rein is ever more.
*Chorus*
He is higher then the highest,
Braver then the brave.
No one will ever take his crown away,
he’s more mighty then the mightiest.
He’s the all time undisputed,
undefeated champion of love.
He left his home town,
to enter this arena.
To raise his hands in victory for me,
but an angry crowed crucified,
this king who wore their crown.
And they gladly watched a champion goin’ down.
But I will never count him out,
for I’m a witness of the day he’ll rise to retain his title,
the Champion of love.
Special thanks to Jonathan for providing this image.

*shivers*
wow.

I’m jealous of Jesus’ hair.
Whoops, just committed one of the Seven Deadlies. My bad.
homoerotic boxing jesus.
If His weight outweighs the world, I wonder which weight class He fights in…
Holy Fabio on a cracker! The wound in his side is a nice touch.
I KNOW He is not pierced on His side…BWWAAAAHAAAHAAAAAAHHHAA!!!
Oh my goodness this is waaaay too much…too much!!!
“I’m gonna knock you Out!! Mamma (or Daddy if you can’t deal with feminine God or that Mary is worth celebrating) said Knock You Out! I’m gonna knock you Out”
No way! It totally goes with the song “The Champion” by Carman. Because of lines like this:
Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned!
The demons reeled in pain as a swell of power
like silent thunder rolled
With a surge of light beyond intense,
illuminating the universe,
In resplendent glory appeared the Son of God.
Stephen Prothero really thoughtfully explores this image in a historical context in his terrific book American Jesus: How the Son of God became a National Icon.
From Amazon’s review of this book: “From Thomas Jefferson’s cut-and-paste Bible to Jesus Christ Superstar, from the feminized Christ of the Victorians to the “manly redeemer” of Teddy Roosevelt’s era, from Buddhist bodhisattva to Black Moses, Prothero surveys the myriad ways Americans have remade Jesus in their own image.”
Noooo!!! Oh my eyes!
he looks like his head could start spinning around at any second
I totally used to rock this song at the Mennonite church. I was a pre-teen who thought I was all that and a bag of chips.
man now I’m gonna have that song in my head all night long.
here’s the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXQLGzaVMVY

Definitely Carman reminder. Sad thing is, I can remember most of the words. Everyone back off, I was like 6 when I first heard it. I didn’t have a choice.
