Fill in is nearly complete! As I get closer to the end of this stage of the process, it is so satisfying to see how it will look. It also helps me plan out the painting part of the art work. Once it is all assembled, it will be over 4 ft by 3 ft. Quite a large piece! Once the background is painted, the cross sewn on, and all 133 books/chapters/verses are written, the full message will be revealed.

In the Bible, the lion is a multifaceted symbol representing both divine majesty and destructive evil, largely depending on context. It most notably signifies Jesus Christ as the "Lion of Judah" (Revelation 5:5), representing authority, royalty, and conquering strength. Conversely, it depicts Satan as a "roaring lion" seeking to devour (1 Peter 5:8).

Positive Symbolism: Power, Royalty, and Protection
Jesus Christ (Lion of Judah): In Revelation 5:5, Jesus is called the "Lion of the tribe of Judah," symbolizing his victory over sin and death, his royal authority as King of kings, and his role as the fulfillment of prophecy.
The Tribe of Judah: The lineage of King David and Jesus is prophesied in Genesis 49:9, where Judah is described as a "young lion," signifying strength, leadership, and power among the tribes of Israel.
God’s Power: At times, God is portrayed as a lion (Hosea 11:10), representing his strength and protection over his people.

Verses Featuring Lions
Daniel in the Lions' Den (Daniel 6): God shuts the mouths of the lions, demonstrating His authority over danger and His power to protect, according to.
Samson and the Lion (Judges 14:5-6): Samson kills a lion with his bare hands, empowered by the Spirit of the LORD, highlighting divine strength.
David and the Lion (1 Samuel 17:34-35): David kills a lion to protect his sheep, showcasing courage and the protection of God.

Going into Good Friday with this message on my mind 🙏🏻

The empty tomb signifies the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, validating his divinity, conquering death, and offering hope of eternal life. It acts as crucial evidence that Jesus is the Son of God, marking the fulfillment of prophecy and the completion of his redemptive work on the cross.

Key Signifigance and Symbolism:
Victory Over Death: Represents that death could not hold Jesus, serving as a pledge of believers' future resurrection.
Proof of Resurrection: It is the physical evidence that Jesus is risen, as reported by early witnesses.
Validation of Jesus’ Claims: Confirms he is the Messiah, verifying his identity and promises.
Promise of New Life: Symbolizes redemption and the promise of hope for eternity.
Faith in God’s Power: Demonstrates God's faithfulness, power, and willingness to intervene in history.

Synonyms/Related Concepts:
The Risen Christ
Resurrection
Conquest of Death
Easter Message
Victory of Life
Usage Examples in Faith:
Hope and Assurance: Christians use the image of the empty tomb to find strength in trials, believing in God’s victory over death and despair.
Easter Celebration: Centrally celebrated on Easter Sunday as the victory over sin and death.
Invitation to Faith: Used as a call to trust in Jesus as Savior for salvation and forgiveness.

The empty tomb, often paired with the cross, serves as the cornerstone of Christian faith and the basis for the message of hope and redemption.

As we progress through the Christian Holy Week, I wanted to share a bit more of this piece as it comes together. One of my favorite aspects of this work is the subtlety of the symbols within the fill. Just like our relationship with Christ, the closer we get to His message, the clearer it becomes. Here, the symbols become more apparent as you draw nearer to the cross. Only in a close relationship with our Savior can His message be heard and understood. This, for me, is the greatest meaning I am finding as I walk out my faith with Him. Glory to God in the highest, and the fact that I am concentrating on the foot of the cross this week is powerful for me. It is where I need to focus, always. GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST!!!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Progress is progress, whether big or small. Filling in around the arms, and then for the last 2 symbols. I have the Lion and the Empty Tomb to go. Perfect week for it!
