Abraham 3:27

OIL ON WOOD

24"x48"

2023-Present (work in progress)

This painting portrays the pre-mortal council, where Jehovah, with outstretched hands, offers Himself to fulfill the Father’s plan through the simple words "Here Am I, Send Me" (Abraham 3:27). Bathed in celestial light, the Savior stands in the center, His figure illuminated by a golden glow that signifies His divine calling. The Father, Elohim, gazes upon Him with approval while a host of heavenly beings look on, their forms softly enveloped in light.

To the side, in the shadows, Lucifer prepares to petition for the same glory but without the spirit of humility. The interplay of light and shadow symbolizes the stark contrast between selfless sacrifice and selfish ambition. This painting represents Christ as the Alpha, the beginning of the grand plan of salvation, a moment of profound obedience and destiny.

This is the first painting in The Alpha and Omega Series, a collection of five oil paintings depicting key moments in Jesus Christ's life, from His pre-mortal offering to His eternal advocacy. Each painting intertwines love, sacrifice, and resurrection themes, creating a chiasmus where the first and last, second and fourth pieces mirror each other, and the third stands as the climactic center. Together, they reveal Christ’s role as Alpha—the beginning—and Omega—the completion.
