Checkmate
Playing games with God... As I meditate on this painting I wonder if I view this image from the stance of the defeated or from the hope that comes from Him who conquers. Is it the dark red sky of battle or the sunrise about to be realized? The answer is: both. I am the black player, playing games with God and fighting to be in control of my own pieces. I see from a place of defeat that my strategies and attempts to play god are worthless. He has and will put me in checkmate every time. Conversely, I see through eyes of joy as I watch the war waged in this world, the rulers and authorities taking their stand against God. I see that He has already won the battle. I see that my King, my Creator, is victorious through the mighty power of His strategy and His Son’s sacrifice. Yeshua, the pawn (a human), who is also the queen (the most powerful piece on the board) has conquered the ruler of this world. What do you see?
Print Options
Mounted Canvas: with 3" wraparound border, sprayed and mounted on a sturdy kiln dried wood stretcher frame. The mounted canvases are sprayed to avoid cracking at edges and extend the already very long lifetime (about 150 years) before fading. It also provides abrasion resistance, all without adding glossiness to the print. A backing panel and hanger are included so it is ready to hang.
Unmounted canvas: This option is perfect for those who want to mat and frame the image. It comes with a 2" border, also making it a good option for those who want to stretch and mount their own canvas.
