This circular oil painting, The Bride of Christ, is the center piece in a larger work about the persecuted church. This work is still in process, as it is a mixed media piece comprised of many different parts. Within the Bible, the church is referred to as the Bride of Christ through imagery and symbolism. In this scene, the church is pictured as a bride, traversing through this fallen world - a world that contains evil and pain. Whether the light-filled staircase represents those who die in Christ or those who will be part of the rapture, God's promise to those who put their trust in Christ cannot be missed.
Revelation 19:7-9
"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints. And he saith to me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God."
