Under My Roof, a mixed media painting on canvas
From the Upside Down Collection
Based on Matthew 8:5-13, The Faith of the Centurion
“When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion [a military commander] came forward to him, appealing to him, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me…. When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith.”
It’s very beautiful to see of person of power know he is needy. We see this man of power knowing he himself can’t provide himself what he really needs. He is dependent upon Jesus.

Jesus in all His goodness is not what we sinners expect. Jesus teaches that the weak are strong, the poor are kings, and the blind see. Jesus brings an Upside Down Kingdom where the dependant are the powerful. Jesus’s Kingdom is opposite of what the world seeks to teach us, and we can rejoice in that.
The only qualification to enter this kingdom is a heart of need, knowing only Jesus gives what will fulfill and fulfill He will. “They shall call his name Immanuel which means God with us,” says Matthew 1:23. As we endlessly feel, see and know our need, Jesus is with us.
May these paintings remind us that Jesus invites us into His Upside Down Kingdom.
