Immanuel, a mixed media painting on canvas

From the Upside Down Collection

Based on Matthew 1:23

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel which means, God with us.”

This is a particular place where I feel still and safe, a place where I can rest. It is a place that reminds me God is near. When I am still, I remember God is with us.

Art Size: 24 × 24 with an 1 1/2 profile

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.
