Inspired strokes bring life to Christ

As we are taught often in the Holy Bible, we are invited to follow the Savior. As we do, there are blessings that will enter our lives. For Christians around the world, the effort it takes to follow Christ is often difficult. In a world that promotes so much noise, a picture such as this can help remind us of the importance of knowing that he is there, and he always will be as we strive to truly go to him. Swindle captures the title "Come Unto Me" with precision and power.

Each of these pieces can help us reflect upon he who saved all. As one takes time to really study these paintings, there can come a feeling of peace, joy, reflection and love. There always seems to be some type of invitation that comes from paintings of the Savior, and that invitation can be different for each person.

With open hearts, people's lives can be filled with the blessings that come from following the example the Jesus Christ has set. Seeing paintings of him can set that process in motion.
