All The Way To The End

20x48, Acrylic Framed 1437 is the first piece for my new series titled, “Where Jesus Walked.” We recently brought back many things from our trip to Israel. Biblical knowledge and insight, deeper friendships, a few artifacts, and lifetime memories. One of my fondest memories is when my eye caught a seasoned fisherman in his boat slowly moving across the waters at Sea of Galilee. Our group was walking down the pier to ride on a boat named, “The Faith Boat” when he raised a smile and gave me a kind wave. The boat was filled with colorful bags. My guess is that inside the bags were his nets. This brief encounter had me revisit the story when Jesus told his disciples who were fishermen to cast their nets on two different occasions. They miraculously hauled in so many fish their nets almost tore. After the first time he performed the miracle he said that he would make them fishers of men. It wasn’t till the end when they would understand fully how that work of the Lord would be done. Being
