The literal, bodily Resurrection of Yeshua Jesus gives us concrete assurance that Who He said He is and what He did ~ are all true. It is estimated Jesus fulfilled more than 300 prophecies from Genesis to Malachi, including the Torah.
We can therefore place our complete trust in the fact that He is truly The Son of God, and THE Only One and True Way to God the Father.
The photo I took is of a Cross atop a hill overlooking Arvin, California, near where Easter Resurrection Sunrise services have been held.
I added the Star of David, to illustrate the fact that Jesus is Jewish ~ the Savior and Messiah for all humanity.
This artwork is truly a labor of love for my precious Savior and Messiah. It is the result of 36 editing sessions plus my photography work.
During the many hours I worked on this piece, I meditated on the fact that because Yeshua (the Hebrew name for Jesus) gloriously resurrected from the dead, He proved His Deity and validated my faith in Him.
That is why His resurrection is so vital for me to trust and believe in Him as my Lord, Savior and Messiah.
I am reminded of my pilgrimage to Israel in 2009 when I stood inside what some scholars believe is the Lord’s empty garden tomb in Jerusalem. I was healed emotionally and physically as I strongly sensed the healing presence of Yeshua Jesus. The only way I can describe it is that it was like an atomic explosion of His love and presence ~ it was so powerful.
Indeed, the Lord Jesus is the Promise Keeper and Miracle Maker.
And He wants to be your forever Friend.
Simply ask Him to forgive you of your sins and invite Him into your heart today.
Place your complete trust in Jesus. He will always be there for you, through thick and thin.
“...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord,
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved;
for with the heart a person believes,
resulting in righteousness,
and with the mouth he confesses,
resulting in salvation.”
~ Romans 10:9-10

Artwork notes:
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ב ס " ד ] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
