Title of drawing: "A New Way to See" (Acts 9)

Artist Thoughts:

Paul wrote in correspondence to the Corinthian church that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come. He was speaking from a place of accountable and personal experience. Knowing what he was like prior to his encounter with Jesus it would seem as if his DNA was radically changed. He was born again. Listen to the difference:
A hearty agreement with torment, torture, or mistreatment in the preservation of holiness or proclaiming the grace and forgiveness of God through the love and life of Christ
The desire to bind others to the law or the desire to be bound to the one who is the fulfillment of the law offering love and grace to all
All about rules or all about grace
A heart focused on judgement or a heart focused on reconciliation 
A life built on self-sufficient trying or a life dependent on trusting
A relationship with Jesus manifests into a new way of seeing. Old eyes become new again. 
One of the cardinal distinctions of the Judeo-Christian worldview versus other worldviews is that no amount of moral capacity can get us back into a right relationship with God. Herein lies the difference between the moralizing religions and Jesus’s offer to us. Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive. -Ravi Zacharias
