The Power of the Cross not only washes away our sins at conversion, but is there for all that Jesus offers for our lives after that. The inspiration for this page, by Natasha Lee, focused on the cross, and as I created, I was worshipping with the song *The Power of the Cross* by Keith & Kristen Getty.
As I meditated on this powerful work Jesus the Christ accomplished on the cross, the picture in my mind was from Pilgrims Progress, on Christian’s burden being lifted at the foot of the cross. Jesus’ lifting of our burdens isn’t just that one time at conversion. But also any burdens we’re laden with along the way. I wrote out some “current” burdens, then tore them up and put them at the foot of the cross.
I also thought of Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus. And used another silhouette image to represent me there. My verse on bringing our burdens to Jesus and Him exchanging them for peace and rest is Matt 11:28—Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, a I will give you rest. I had a stamp in my stash with that verse.
Sponge painting, collage, stenciling, and splattering all went into the background. Die cutting, dry embossing, and inking into the other elements.
I got a video of this make. I’ll try to get it edited and posted soon.
We’d love to see your faith art on the Power of the Cross, in our Creative Community on FB.
