This is a free-standing sculpture made
out of Perla soap. I mad e this as a representation of the verse 1 Corinthians
5:17, “Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”
I consider
this “stone” as my life since the day
that I gave my life to Jesus. The
newspaper background represents the sins I did in the past. I know for sure that
I am not perfect and the Bible says that the wages of sin is death. Hence, I deserve
to die. But God won’t let that happen. He loves me that much that He gave His
one and only Son Jesus- the Name curved at the top of the stone- to die for my
sins. The red-colored second picture serves as His blood that was shed on the
cross for the forgiveness of my sins.
The art-work is colored white, symbolizing
cleanliness. I was given a new life by God. He has forgiven my sins. Not only
that, He has also forgotten them all. God is a God of new beginnings. Because
of that, I have a bright future ahead.
God never
promised an easy life on earth. He even said that we will face troubles. But
His promises are more than enough for me to hold on. He said He will never
leave me nor forsake me. And He is faithful to whatever He says. He’ll never
fail. That’s my God!
I offer
this work to Him. It may not be the most beautiful work; still I’m proud of it.
The intention matters. I desire to glorify Him in every way, even through this
simple thing. Words are not enough to express how grateful I am for having been found by Jesus. If not, my life would have not been the same.
So Lord, thank You. May You be
magnified in my life. Help me live a life worthy of You… Without Any Blemish…
