Deep Roots

The cross rises from the center of the Star of David, its base spreading like living roots through the fractured stone beneath it. The composition presents the Christian faith as deeply rooted in Israel’s covenant story, with the crucifixion of Christ standing in continuity with the promises given through the Hebrew Scriptures. The roots gripping the star speak to inheritance, fulfillment, and the sacred connection between the Gospel and the people of Israel. This symbolic artwork is suited for teaching on the Jewish roots of Christianity, Messianic prophecy, covenant theology, Good Friday reflection, and Bible studies on how Christ fulfills the Law and the Prophets.
