What is the single most important thing for kids ( and adults for that matter) to learn about in this world today? I argue the need for them to learn about Jesus, the very one who created and cares for their lives. Jesus promises salvation and forgiveness for ALL who come to Him in simple childlike Faith! My latest artwork opportunity to work with 4th graders ,along side a very good trio of teachers, allowed us to center on the fact that Jesus IS our Great High Priest who not only longs to save all who come to Him, but He, in addition, "lives to intercede for them". This is GREAT news because this world is brutal and Satan, the accuser, always stands ready to slander and destroy lives -especially of those who have come to Christ. Revelation speaks of Satan as the accuser and in Zechariah 3, Satan is seen accusing Joshua before the Lord Himself but who is it that comes to Joshua's rescue? Answer of course: The Pre-existent, pre-incarnate Christ ( since Jesus has always been)! Kids and adults have the world to gain by learning just who Jesus is as the Savior who will forgive ANY SIN, no matter how wicked and grant salvation to all who approach him with earnest repentance and humility. Jesus actually longs to see people be rescued from the heartache that sin leaves on all of us. He loves kids, adults, people and folks from all walks of life. This artwork I am allowed to do is something I enjoy and my goal is that it point kids and parents to the One who longs to give true joy and peace amidst a very unstable world. He has done that for me and He will for you as well.
