He Will Save

Watercolor with Japanese Paper

7” x 7”

 

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will

save his people from their sins

 

This is one in a series of three designs which take inspiration from the majestic stained glass windows of the old cathedrals.  I’m always intrigued with the fact that these masterfully crafted artworks illuminated color and beauty as well as proclaimed scripture to the pre-literate. I hope you can imagine with me, this bold, simple design as a window with light streaming through it, breaking up the dark space inside.

 

If you’re like me, you need to know some things do not change in this world that is trying to find its way.  I look for something, someone to illumine my path to gain the reassurance everything will be alright.  I need not look any further than Jesus. . .

 He is God himself

He radiates God’s glory

He holds all things together

He does not change

He will save us

He is with us
