The artist grew older. Eventually, he must put his brush aside. Dusseldorf lost its artist, but the painting still hung for all to see.
Years later, a young German nobleman wandered into the gallery and stopped in front of the Stenburg masterpiece. He read the words on the frame. “All this I did for thee. What hast thou done for Me?”
Hours passed. That night the young count made a decision. That nobleman was Zinzendorf. In Dueldorf he decided to give his life to answering the question under the Stenburg painting. He died as a martyr to the cause of Christ, still answering it.
The gallery burned years ago, and with it the famous canvas. But the question for everyone — for you, dear reader, for me — remains the same. “All this I did for thee. What hast thou done for Me?”
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” 1 Tim. 1:1515This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. (1 Timothy 1:15).
