Delivered From Darkness

Inspired by Colossians 1:13, 1Peter 2:9

Delivered From Darkness – Jesus our Savior reaches down and delivers us from a world of darkness filled with evil. This pit from which we come is often filled with those who laugh at our belief in God, others try to persuade us to join them in their destructive behavior, others are just lost in a numb stupor, others just want to be “cool” in the eyes of man and stay away from “nerdy” decisions. Meanwhile, the light of His glorious kingdom to which we are delivered shines bright and those waiting for us to join them rejoice at our decision to be God’s child. Others in Jesus’ light fall to their knees in thankfulness for the answer to their prayers that they have been praying for us. In the center of the painting, Jesus’ arm united with the arm of the girl being delivered forms a cross with nail prints in it. A small ledge in the background helps to form the cross bar of the cross.
