Once a year, the painting is taken down from its display and examined by conservation experts. The bidder won the right to be present for this event.<br><br>Think of paying that much to be close to a portrait of a deceased woman painted by a deceased man. While Leonardo was obviously brilliant, his genius pales in comparison to the One who is "the wisdom of God" (1 Corinthians 1:24).<br><br>And you can meet him personally and intimately for free today. That's because God "made him to be sin who knew no sin, that we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). The best way to honor the One who died for us is to humble ourselves with gratitude before his grace.<br><br><br>Dr James Denison <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:white'>_._,_._,_<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></div><p class=MsoNormal>Groups.io Links:<o:p></o:p></p><p>You receive all messages sent to this group. <o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://groups.io/g/committed-walk-with-Christ/message/7108" target="_blank">View/Reply Online (#7108)</a> | <a href="mailto:committed-walk-with-Christ@groups.io?subject=Re:%20%5BCWWC%5D%20Paying%20%2498%2C000%20to%20see%20the%20Mona%20Lisa" target="_blank">Reply To Group</a> | <a href="mailto:trishzoellers@icloud.com?subject=Private:%20Re:%20%5BCWWC%5D%20Paying%20%2498%2C000%20to%20see%20the%20Mona%20Lisa" target="_blank">Reply To Sender</a> | <a href="https://groups.io/mt/81179547/21951" target="_blank">Mute This Topic</a> | <a href="https://groups.io/g/committed-walk-with-Christ/post">New Topic</a><o:p></o:p></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><hr size=2 width="25%" align=center></div><p class=MsoNormal>Questions, concerns, suggestions?
