Description

So lately I've been meditating over Hebrews 4, about offering ourselves as a living sacrifice and listening to Ian Clayton (actually over and over again) describing the process in detail. We need to understand exactly how the high priest offered up the lamb, pouring out it's blood and breaking it's limbs and cleaning out it's insides...
It was not the lamb's responsibility to clean out it's hidden parts (junk). It was the high priest's job. Any sacrifice is dead. So what's up with a "living" sacrifice? Only God can make what's dead be alive. We are as good as dead when we offer our selves. But we trade it will Jesus's blood and body! We are alive!
This painting is the beginning process of depicting emotional part of offering myself as a living sacrifice.
