Treasure (December 2009)
Scripture:  Matthew 13:44-46

Jesus spent much of His time speaking in parables.  In this instance He talked about hidden treasure – something precious and valuable.  Gems came to mind and became the main image of the work which was then painted in metallic paint.  I also chose to use the image of gems because they represent items people desire.  I want the words “worth giving all for” to remind the viewer that even and especially earthly riches are worth giving to the King of Kings.
