This is a 6x9 inch linocut, printed with water-based ink on rice paper.
This linocut print is a depiction of the Church, clothed in the armor of God. In Ephesians Paul writes to "be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power" and to "Stand firm." I believe our straight to use the armor of God is by standing on Christ. Therefore, the Church in this piece is standing on the Word of God, and abiding in Christ—surrounded by symbols for all of the I AMs: the Bread of Life (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51), the Light (John 8:12), the Good Shepherd (John 10:7,9), the Resurrection and the Life.” (John 11:25), the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), and the True Vine (John 15:1, 5). The Holy Spirit guides and directs the Church in this piece in the form of a flaming dove.
