Silver, gold, and other glittery materials are meaningless compared to the love and friendship of Jesus Christ as He laid down His life to wash away our sins for good. There is power in Jesus' name. When paralyzed by sin, we call out to Him for the strength to rise and walk again. We will continue to mature and grow in our relationship with the Lord because it is a relationship more precious than anything else.
Happy Sunday to you all.
Thank you for calling me to Yourself, Lord. I confess that the draw of sin still temps me. I want to be faithful to You, so as I come closer, please pull me in. Cleanse my mind of my selfish desires and impure pursuits, so that I may desire You more and not be prone to wander from You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Through Jesus, God has opened the door for us to come to Him. And when we respond to His invitation by drawing nearer, He closes the gap, too. When we cling to sin and pursue selfish desires, we pull away from God. But when we draw near to Him, He makes us clean and renews our minds so that we may seek Him even more.
Painting by Joseph Desiree-Court
What are we seeing:
A person trying to save his father, and completely ignoring his wife and son, who are closest to him. And the lightest weight among them is that he saves you.
Character representation:
- THE MOTHER: represents LIFE;
- The child: represents the FUTURE;
- THE FATHER: represents the PAST.
Interpretation of the Work: man has clung to the past and, therefore, loses his LIFE, and his FUTURE.
