Within the “Unveiled Glory… the revelation of Christ” blogpost is a description from Hannah’s book of a painting that was known to have hung in an art gallery in Europe.  From that description, AI has generated the image above.  I would entitle it:  “A Father’s Love”

It captures for me the essence of the Gospel and was the turning point in affecting my Christian conversion.  Here is God the Father’s response to our first parent’s transgression.  The Lamb was truly slain from the foundation of the world.  He  personally immeresed Himself within our suffering, continuously hanging from that cross until the last of his children would be fully redeemed. 

There was no plan B.  He knew and accepted the cost upfront of creating free willed beings.

Here is the exact quote from her book:  

“I have read that there is a picture in one of the art galleries in Europe which depicts the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.  In that picture, Eden lies just behind them and an angel with a flaming sword guards the gate against their return.  Before them stretches a waste of briars and thorns.  But Adam and Eve are not pictured as looking back with sorrowful longing towards Eden, nor are they looking with shrinking fear at the wilderness before them.  The artist has depicted them as looking up towards heaven, awestruck, and overwhelmed with horror at what they see, for a great cross has appeared in the heavens above them, and the One Whom they had known and worshipped in the Garden of Eden, is now nailed upon that cross”
