Had an awesomely creative week this past week and I give God all the glory for it. He vgave me all these images that really drove the point of my message home. I have a new painting added to my stable of teaching pieces. I call it oddly enough, "The Point." It's not what you would call a fine art piece, it will probably never hang in a gallery and yet it may be one of the most important pieces of my life. It is painted on a full length mirror, it has a close up picture of Jesus on the cross. Above his head is a thought balloon like you would see in your local newspaper's comic pages. That is the only part where the mirror is exposed. The point is simple and hopefully everyone who sees it will get it. When Jesus hung on that cross, you were on His mind. He did it for you (and me)! This is what I love about visual arts in ministry. It can cross language and cultural barriers. A person can look at this piece and get the point without me ever saying a Word. I can't take credit for this piece, one day as I was out on my prayer walk, the whole thing popped into my head. How can you use your gift to spread the Gospel?
