…Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will… – Romans:12:2
Holy Season’s Greetings to all of you! Here’s my annual “Christmas image.”
At one point in painting it, I thought very deeply about what the writers (scribes, actually) of the Gospels must have experienced as they wrote God’s own words. I am certain that the faithful scribe pictured here was utterly transfixed and forever transformed, filled with an indescribable joy and an awesome hope beyond words. This image represents John, a most beloved disciple of Jesus, in the midst of delivering (in Greek) what we read today in Scripture as John 3:16:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Not a fantasy. Not a fiction. A fact. The perfect gift. The perfect peace and good will.
Be BLESSED!
