PIECE #7 - SANCTUARY




















Title :  "Sanctuary"
Date :  06/06/11
Materials:  acrylic, wood
 
This one is very clean and simple, just like its message.

Come to the Lord and you will find peace and security.  In fact, it is only in Him where we can truly find these. 

Since there are only three element on this block, I'll just break them down individually.

The Black
Represents any type of suffering or blight.  Anything that is a result of sin.  The fallen world and the consequences we are, as a race, sentenced to endure. 

The White Path
Jesus.  The Light of the World.  It is through Him, and only through Him, we can reach reconciliation and therefore peace.  He is the Way, the path to eternal salvation and peace.

The Red Block
The stronghold of God's Covenant.  The immovable security for those that are in Christ Jesus.  While we still remain in the sin filled world and endure it's suffering until we are called home, we are now cloaked in Christ's blood.  We are afforded the peace of knowing our salvation is assured.

It is just that simple.  No gray area.  You are either in this sanctuary or you are not.  This is why I feel that this piece needed to be simple.

Well, there you have it. It's been a challengingly great experience!  I will be posting a synopsis about the whole week in the next couple of day.  For now, I'm gonna have some food and watch a little T.V.
