Awaiting the Savior

The painting is based on 1 Thess. 5:16-24 coupled with Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11. My thoughts on 1 Thess. verses 23 and 24 really catapulted the Idea of Being guarded until Jesus returns. The thought of Jesus protecting us from spiritual enemies; and as we await his return, it’s the same as in Isaiah’s time.  They were waiting for the messiah. The reality that we have a savior, yet we are waiting for the savior and that we are protected by the savior. Our assurance that we have promises from Jesus that none can snatch us from his hand, and the Apostle Paul writing to the Romans about nothing separating us from the love of Christ. So the image of the spirit of Christ protecting a woman in prayer seemed to capture this for me. I hope you enjoy
