The world-famous artist, Bertel Thorwaldsen, made an impressive clay sculpture of the
majestic conquering Christ in Copenhagen, Denmark. Left for the night to harden, a
strange change took place. In the dampness of the studio the head began to droop and the
upraised arms began to sag downward. It appeared it would have to be redone, but the
majestic Christ took on new dimension, the head bowed forward and the arms stretched
downward in gentle invitation. So the majestic Christ was titled, Come Unto Me.
That work by the artist and gravity has inspired millions.
