It was time to close the building, and this quiet man was rooted in that one spot as if he were one of the exhibits himself, except he was seated on the floor staring up a picture.

The curator walked behind him, gently placed a hand on his shoulder and started to speak. But, suddenly he noticed tears rolling down the cheeks of Count Von Zinzendorf.
Underneath the painting was the inscription, "If He cared that much for you, what should be your concern for Him?" It was that question which would shape the rest of Count Von Zinzendorf's life, ministry and legacy. [1]
