Acrylic 30” x 40”   Matthew 14:22-33

After Jesus sees the disciples in distress in the storm on the lake, he comes to them on the water. The painting emphasizes the incredible wrath of the enemy using the storm [which is an act of God] to illicit great fear in the hearts of the disciples. Into the heart of the storm Jesus comes. He is master over the storm. Behind him the demonic threats of the enemy try to take over your attention. They do for Peter who’s eyes leave the face of Jesus and is overcome once again by fear and realization of what he was doing, walking on water. Jesus stands on the water with hand prominently outstretched to save. His gaze is fearless, even masterful.
