Atlas Jesus

"One has a picture of a strong man trying to lift a very big, complicated burden. He stoops down and gets himself under it so that he himself disappears; and then he straightens his back and moves off with the whole thing swaying on his shoulders." --The Grand Miracle
This is taken from a reading about the Incarnation of Jesus that was written by C.S. Lewis, and it was the inspiration for the illustration I put together this week. It's a powerful idea that God would enter into humanity as a tiny human baby and that He would grow into a man who would be killed in his young adult life... and on whose death hung the weight of the world.
It's an idea that's too grand for me to try to represent it with my drawing, but it's an idea that's too important for me not to try...
God bless!


I see your angle, well put.
