Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19
I love this piece of art for so many reasons. {Crayon and pencil by Sr. Grace Remington, OCSO Copyright 2005, Sisters of the Mississippi Abbey}
Mary didn’t crush the serpent’s head, Christ did. Still… the power in this piece of art is palatable to me. Their expressions touch me. Our God didn’t leave us lost in our sin after Eve and Adam’s sin, but He sent His Son through a virgin to reconcile us to Him and to defeat death forever.
Amen and amen.
Merry Christmas!
