Human Messiah (September 2013)
Scripture: John 4:1-26 16" x 16” One of the great mysteries of the Gospels and one that surfaced often in creating this series of paintings. How to resolve that Jesus is God and that He walked this earth fully human. This is one area I do not understand nor can I explain it, but I take comfort in knowing that Jesus traveled this earth and got tired. He felt the emotions of being overwhelmed by people around Him and the need for silence and quiet. Learning from Him, I see a key to life – to walk closely with the Father. To lean on Him for strength, to talk with about struggles, pains, joys, and I even know He listens to my tantrums and safely securely holds my hand. He is the spring or fountain of life – one that always flows and is available for all who are thirsty to have the desires of their souls quenched. |
