Story behind “Broken Heart”

I was in Israel in the early 1980’s on a pilgrimage.

 The guide was an amazing Jewish young man who was fascinated and warmed by Christians visiting Israel. He was a very spiritual man.

 On the last day he told the story of the last supper and said as an allegory that the bread was moulded in Jesus’ hands into a perfect heart before he passed it to his disciples.

He sacrificed His heart!

 This stayed with me for many years, never forgotten. Only recently I felt that the Lord said to “Paint it now”.

 The image on this page is the result. The bread is “Matzo” bread used in Passover, with the stripes and piercing and the shape is a heart!!!

 Note that upside down HE is offering the bread to YOU!

 Recently we had a communion service in my church and I pulled off a piece of bread and when I looked, it was a perfect heart!!!!
I just wept!!!!, I wept with Joy and pain.
