Betrayal (acrylic on canvas)

 -  posted on 08/02/08 at 12:00:00 am


John 18:1-18


Have you ever felt betrayed? Probably yes. Circumstances such as the one described in this reading are, perhaps, the most difficult ones for human beings to deal with.

Betrayal, for us humans, often is accompanied by vengeance. After all, this is the “right thing” to do in many people’s minds.

Jesus, however, does not cede to such temptations. Even at that critical moment, He acted with love and tenderness. This passage shows the last explicit “I am” saying. It points out a moment of transition from his teaching to his suffering on the cross.

For us Christians, it is important to know that even in moments of betrayal, we can always shine Jesus’ light and be an example. This should be our difference from the rest of the world: love and respect for all human beings, even to those who hurt and shame us.

To create a canvas transfer, grade canvas and sealed with a protective acrylic glaze. http://bible.postedpost.com/

Hi there! Thanks for your infinite help. I love gouache, and have only recently decided to create more journals with my paintings – thanks to you
Do you have any idea how to use a similar method with photoshop, but make the writing white over an image? Completely stuck
