The Jilted Lover

This painting is about the groom... Jesus

In the book of Philippians in the Bible, a man named Paul talk about Jesus

"Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness. "

The unfathomable God, wrapped Himself in this finite flesh and bones....
The all powerful became fragile...
The beginning and the end took on the form of the decaying and dying....

All to marry us.

Humanity and God were one in the Garden. There was a great divorce. So God comes down in human form to speak to us about this eternal life with Him, takes away all the barriers and places the guilt on himself, and offers us marriage again (John 17:3)

In this painting, we see Jesus, the Almighty, as a new born.... new, weak, fragile... in this world coming with an engagement ring....

Coming to be rejected by most.
