Lifted Up, 8x10 acrylic on canvas, 2026

1 Peter 2:24King James Version24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Jesus, our king, he was lifted up high the moment he was crucified for our sins. Jesus sacrificed His life on a cross for us. He obeyed onto death and because of that God lifted Him up high, the highest being in the whole universe with the highest authority over anything and anyone, nothing and no one has higher authority than Jesus Christ.. Jesus is our king. He is the authority. He is the power. He is the anointing. He is the one and only. Jesus is pure love. He loves because reconciliation would not be possible if he did not have love for us, who are sinners and don’t even deserve what He did for us. What a wonderful God we have so beautiful, kind, loving, and powerful, yet so meek. Nobody is going to love you like Jesus, loves you—Nobody!
