This animation draws especially on Isaiah 25:6-9. In that passage, Isaiah envisions the day of YHWH’s eschatological salvation of His people as a great feast prepared by the Lord on the mountain of Zion (Is. 25:6). On the day of the feast–which implies table fellowship between man and man, and God and humanity–on the day

This animation is the second in an “Easter Trilogy” trilogy considering Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Resurrection Sunday (the animation dealing with Good Friday is here.). In “Holy Saturday,” I try to help us spend some time contemplating the strange and beautiful truth that, in Jesus, YHWH is “God With Us” even in the grave….and

The War of Love against the enemies of the Beloved ends in peace when the Beloved stands in place of the enemies so that the enemies might become beloved ones. Christ is crushed for us, slain for us, damned for us, and joins His people in the indignity of death…. But then—beyond all hope—the Crucified
The Gospel – VI – Resurrection Read More »
Based on many texts, but most especially 1 John 4:10. As self-made enemies of God, we all face the shattering power of God’s War of Love. However—from the overflow of that same love—God sent forth His own Beloved, His Image, His Word, His SON: Jesus Christ. In every way like one of the rebels (except

Having bent our souls toward “Not-God” rather than God, we spiral into self destruction, running after everything we think will satisfy—except the One for whom we were made; and in this pursuit we devour each other, our world, and ourselves. But, even when our pursuit of “Not-God” doesn’t seem to cause harm (say, a peaceful

This third picture in a seven picture series is taken mainly from Genesis 3:6, but also has elements of Jeremiah 2:13. Humanity was created to enjoy and so to declare the excellence of the Triune God. That is what every longing in our heart, mind, and body exists for—as mediums through which to know and

This one is based on the Creation account, especially the creation of humanity in Genesis 1:26-27. God, who eternally enjoys the fellowship of Himself within Himself through the reciprocal love of Father and Son in the Spirit, now creates a universe through which He will externally communicate the excellence of His own internal life. All

Everlasting Arms – An Animation [ft. Shai and Blair Linne] Read More »
This animation is an attempt to bring the all-satisfying beauty of the crucified and risen Christ to bear against the soul-ailment of addiction. My prayer is that it might be used to stir holy love for the Triune God and so decisively shatter strongholds of lesser joys, and that those who are weary of falling

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. The Passage Explained With verse 5, Psalm 23 seems to shift its central metaphor from that of shepherd and sheep to one that more prominently pictures YHWH as the master of a

Romans 8:31-39 In verses 31-34, Paul asks three questions that extol the benefits of God’s love for His people in Christ. First, “Who can be against us?” The answer: no one, since God is for us and has shown just how “for us” He is by giving His own Son. Second, “Who shall bring any
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— 4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.
This picture is a clear and sobering reminder of what the Love of God accomplished at the cross….namely, the swallowing up of the Wrath of God—indeed, the hell—that I deserved. In this wrath-bearing, hell-extinguishing, rebel-reconciling death, the God who is Love manifests Himself to all who have eyes to see. ”In THIS is love,
