Looking at the image of Christ, we must remember that the icon can not hold God whole. It is only an image, and only an earthly incarnation. The divine essence can not be comprehended by man. How an ant can not fully understand the world around, but only that part that it can perceive.
The significance of the icon of the Savior is to remind us that He is still the Living God, and not the book character of ancient tales. Therefore, every Christian must establish a personal relationship with Him. This is done through prayer. For this purpose, images are meant to help a person to escape from the daily fuss, to remember the main thing.
In the earthly life of man there are many problems, illnesses, sorrows. This is his fate after the first people lost their paradise monasteries. The icon of the Savior helps believers to remember that they have a reliable helper, faithful and faithful - Jesus. You can turn to Him in any trouble, repent, ask for strength and health.
