About the PaintingThe painting, Emmaus Road, illustrates the post-resurrection story found in the Gospel of Luke, and depicts the disciples walking with Jesus on the road to Emmaus. The piece intends to convey the feeling of new life, grace, and worship. The fragmented colors and light in the treetops are abstracted to resemble stained glass. The trees criss-cross to resemble archways. These features allude to a beautiful message in the story. The Emmaus Road is about the dawn of the Church—a new day where Christ walks with us, teaches us, and ministers to us. It is a sunrise of grace shining on a changed world. More than just a painting, Emmaus Road is a vision of today’s reality, seen through eyes of faith.
