Description
When I first began to think about painting Jesus, I wanted to study about how he has been depicted throughout time, particularly through the eyes of the Western part of the World! Interestingly, because Westerners have over the last centuries, been in the forefront of leading the rest of the world, they tend to have a rather egocentric view in interpreting the history of the Christian Bible. Therefore, Christ has generally been depicted looking like a Caucasion, instead of someone of Jewish or Mediterranean descent! However, we know from reading the bible, that he was definitely Jewish and was the son (in a material sense), of a carpenter, but was (divinely) in spirit, the Son of God, or spirit incarnate, and Mary was his mother. We also know from careful examination of the bible, that he was humble or meak and put others first before himself! While on earth for a total of 33 years, he provided the ultimate example on how to live--performing many miracles by healing the sick, and by teaching and preaching the Good News, so that others might have hope in Eternal Life! Today, as we approach this season of Easter, or throughout the year for that matter, let us reflect on His example of living in the Light of Truth!
First in the New Series: "Catching Glimpses of the One They Call Jesus!"
This first painting in this series is an original interpretation of my conception of Jesus...very intense spiritually and possessing a quality of Light and of Love! Christ has been ordained from before the foundation of the earth was laid (Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world . . . Ephesians 1:3-4 and John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. )! He is to be seated at the right hand of God "with great power and authority", and one Great day, all the world will bow to Him...
"then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory." Mark 13:26
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;"
Philippians 2:10
