Abraham's Test

The Fire of Faith

The Second Sunday of Lent has a reading from the Book Genesis where God tested Abraham's faith.  The story tells that Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son because God told him to do so.  Although nothing bad happened to the son, it shows such great faith.

This painting is layers of acrylic prints made from hand cut stencils.  The flames of fire, the wood, the mountain top against the blue sky help to tell the story.
