The Hebrew text, Yeshua, is visible in stylized gold characters at the top of this painting. Yeshua, Hebrew for the name, Jesus, reveals profound ties to YHWH / God’s eternal nature and His role as Savior. The Hebrew word “yasha” means “to save” or “to deliver.”  His name encapsulates a declaration of faith in the God, Who Is, Who Was, and Who Is To Come and who came to save. The Incarnation is YHWH’s love letter to the world. The Son is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation, (Col. 1:13ff  “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. . . .”).

“Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day,” Psalm 96:2

“He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead.and gave him glory so that your faith and hope are in God.” (I Peter1:20)

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible…And he is before all things and i him all things hold together.” ( Colossians 1:15ff)
