This is one of my earliest works & was created as an illustration for a Bible course. It has, of course, sold. The message is still relevant to us today. The Lion is a representative of the Lion of Judah known as the future Messiah. The temple is His Holy court. The brilliant rays are the light of the Shekinah (or the visible manifest presence of The Holy One...God). 

As Believers we recognize Jesus as our "Covenant" between the Old and the New Testaments. Hebrews 8:6 says that "He is the mediator of a better covenant that was established on better promises." In verse 10, it says, "This is the covenant that I will make with Israel after those days....I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts..." The 10 laws written on stone (actually 613) are now softened with Grace and Love. It is with this thought in mind that I present "The Covenant King."

The prophet Isaiah is known as the "prophet of the Messiah" because of several writings which foretold of a coming savior for his people. His (the Messiah) was a "celebration of life." This particular scroll is chosen from Isaiah, chapter 53. The name of the Messiah is not mentioned, but the description of Him says, "He shall grow up before him as a tender plant, He has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him." The passage goes on to describe His person as one of a "suffering servant" who will give His life willingly for us. His ultimate sacrifice promised a great reward.

I chose to portray this Messiah juxtaposed over the portion of the Torah scroll in Isaiah 53 where He is described. May we honor His sacrifice by celebrating the fullness of Life!
