CALMING EMBRACE
Many Painters paint Christ in a heavy, stern way that uses dark colors and themes. Yongsung Kim uses light colors and themes of happiness to bring Christ to the viewer with familiar emotions.
Flowers stir up emotions in us of innocence and joy. Here Christ is depicted in a field of flowers. Both Christ and the lamb emulate happiness.
CHANGE OUR LIVES
Mistakes can make us believe that we are too far lost to go back. We lose sight of our self-worth.
When we lose sight of what is important, we can find ourselves lost. Going back home to the people we love after making mistakes is very hard to do. To know that we will be welcomed back with a calming embrace will change our lives.
This is one of the most important messages needed to remain close to Christ. We all stray a little at some point.
THROUGH CHRIST'S EYES
Kim displays Christ as a shepherd and we are his sheep. In Matthew 18: 12-14 a shepherd loses one of his ninety-nine sheep. He leaves the ninety-nine to find the one. Bringing this Christian art into your home is a reminder to you and your family of how important you are in Christ’s eyes.
HE WILL COME FOR US
This picture of Christ is the reminder we need on the days that we are tearing into ourselves, that Christ will not have that. He will come for us. We are worth the search.
The calming embrace of this painting is the perfect representation of that.
