Based on the verses in John 15, this drawing depicts Jesus, the living sacrifice, hanging on a tree, and wound in vines, stretching to grow and bear fruit.
I am so pleased with the results of this drawing. I've been encouraged to share some of my drawings in a public setting where they'd be judged. This would require me to remove some of the anonymity of the blog and the artwork. Only a few close Christians in my life know that I make these drawings.
I'll pray on that further before making a decision.
The scripture... John 15: 1-8
The Vine and the Branches
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
