After Sin

Here is my first artwork in a couple of decades. I have had many distractions and some struggles over the years and just couldn't and didn't do art for far too long. The will and ambition to draw is always there. Some of the time attempts to make art would yield results I did not want. 

In the last few months I was doodling and trying to draw. And, there was more and more prodding from coincidences. It all came together when I changed jobs (time) and changed phones (tools.) Crazy that a phone can make so much of a difference. I picked out the Samsung Z Fold 3, a great phone that is cutting edge technology. As I am looking at art tools, I figure out that there is a free trial offer for Clip Studio Paint. A program that is comparable to Photoshop, which I used back in the 1990's! Back then I used a big desktop computer, monitor, scanner and more. Now, it's all in the palm of my hand in a phone! It's mind blowing!

As I worked through what to draw I knew it needed to be something Biblical and "good." As I settled on the challenging subject of our Lord and Savior I took inspiration from the book of Revelation and the Crushing Snakes music video by Crowder. This allowed me to envision Jesus in the dynamic and active vison in this art. This is Jesus coming "AFTER SIN" that is in your life. There is no place for sin to hide, not even the dark caves of our hearts. Jesus comes with The Truth to save you. He is unstoppable!
I hope you like my effort.

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.
