In earlier posts I've shared some scripture related artworks, some done by myself and others done by my friend Chris.

Now my wife has put paint to canvas. This is the first she did. She is now painting a series based on Jesus' words from the cross.

An article and a sermon from two different sources but addressing the same theme: the cross and the sacrificial crucifixion of Jesus.
