“Home” is a fine art print of the fourth illustration in “The King’s Love” series I was commissioned to illustrate the message of the story of God’s love for us. The illustrations in the series are an allegory of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration—The Gospel. The original 24x36 paintings now hang on the walls of a bright corridor in a beautiful neighborhood church. This 8x10 print is a great reminder of the depth of God’s love for us, and would make a great addition to the walls of your living room or a child’s room. The print comes packaged with it’s unique story shown below…

“Home” (Restoration)

“And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them, and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.’ And He who sits on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’ And He said, ‘Write, for these words are faithful and true.’” ~ Revelations 21:3-5

The King’s light exposed paths through the dark world which the children couldn’t have seen on their own. As they walked along these paths they found work that needed doing—tightening a loose gear or replacing a bit of pipe. Since the children didn’t know the purpose of the gears or pipes, sometimes their work seemed pointless. But they came to believe that in some mysterious way, the work they did was truly done for the King. More mysteriously still—as they worked in the light, the King was working on them.

One day the King’s light lit a path that led to a dead end. The children were confused. Until now they had never found a boundary to the dark world. It had seemed to spread out limitless in all directions. They tried walking back the way they’d come, but it was too dark to get very far. Clearly, they were meant to be at this place. They pressed against the wall, looking for a way through, but it was all hard stone—unbudging. Had the King’s light finally run out?

Suddenly, the gears which had been grinding along in their usual way began to slow, and then stop. Silence filled the dark world. Then came a foreign sound—the sound of a forest. The children heard leaves rustling, bird-song trilling, the wind blowing. They jumped at the tickle of grass growing beneath their feet! The wall before them split open into two arched doors. In that moment, the children knew they were home. The First Forest embraced them and spilled into the vast dark world, making everything beautiful.

And so the King, whose love was more powerful than the darkness, had brought the children to an end that was a beginning.
