[su_dropcap style=”flat”]A[/su_dropcap]N IMAGE that came to me over the years before I even thought I could paint was depicting the wound on the shoulder of Christ, a wound which was the most grievous of all the wounds He suffered due to the cross he carried and the sin’s of the world. Tomorrow is Easter Sunday, a day of Joy and the Resurrection of Christ.
We all remember the movie the “Passion” by Mel Gibson. So brutal was the scourging and in reading on the actor “Jim Caviezel’s“ own struggle with the shooting of these scenes, he actually suffered in many.
I realize that not everyone believes in God and that there are many faiths that practice the teachings of the bible differently. Some because it is so literal, others because they

find its just another story, and others’ because they just want to live their lives on earth until it’s their time to be go. I have heard many say that they feel that “Hell” is here on earth. Maybe it is, but the one thing for sure humans did not evolve from a tadpole, molecule or plant…
Look at the amazing things created on this earth. The different species of animals, insects, birds and plant life. The greatest mountains and all that takes our breath away. I don’ t know how to download a YouTube video, but if I could there are many I would choose from to compliment this article. However, I place a painting of mine to show the wound on Christ Shoulder and an image that I did not paint of Christ Resurrection and with that, I want to wish all the readers a very Blessed Easter Sunday.
Lynn I hope your Easter is overflowing with blessings and joy from our heavenly Father. I have many friends who don’t believe in God. I have many friends and family members who believe in God but don’t think he’s anything special. They are missing out on the most important element of life – and that is eternal life that begins the minute the air we breathe is celestial. I sat and literally cried this morning while listening to my favorite Easter song, Rise Again, and praying for people I love who want to live without the joy that is possible only through knowing Christ. I may have told you this before. When I worked in an office, I had a typed up strip of paper above my computer. It said, Live you life in such a way that those who don’t know God will want to know God because they know you. When I get to heaven and God asks, Who did you bring with you, I don’t know of anyone. But I hope somewhere along the line someone, somewhere came to know God because they knew me.
