Description

“Grass withers, flowers fade, but whoever follows Me will live forever.” These words came to my mind as I imagined this painting. The wedding rings provided a wonderful connection to marriage, which has always been mankind’s deepest, closest and most long-lasting union. But Jesus Christ came to offer relationship that goes far beyond, ‘… till death us do part’. He said that, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” John 3v16. Celebration… togetherness… bereavement… union with Christ. This painting can touch our spirit with any of these things and more.

Genesis 1 11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. Isaiah 40 7 The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the LORD blows on it; surely the people are grass.8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. Matthew 6 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
