Charismatic artist Max Greiner wants to draw people to Christ. That’s why he’s created huge bronze sculptures of Jesus that sit outside megachurches and even the Trinity Broadcasting Network studios. And he says that’s why he built a $2 million, 77-foot cross that was raised last week along Interstate 10 in Kerrville, Texas.
“I’m trying to use the gifts and talents He gave me to lift up Jesus Christ before the world,” Greiner said. “Nobody complains when millions of dollars are spent on sports stadiums and movies and things like that, but everybody seems to have a problem when you want to lift up Jesus.”
The cross is part of a 23-acre Sculpture Prayer Garden Greiner is building near Kerrville. The garden will include picnic areas and walking trails but will also present the gospel through donated artwork, including a replica of Greiner’s 18-foot The Coming King sculpture, which sits outside Trinity Broadcasting Network’s headquarters in Costa Mesa, Calif.
