Description
I painted this watercolor of Jesus carrying a lost sheep many years ago when I was confined to a TB hospital in Michigan... not knowing at the time if I had TB or not... Thankfully I didn't, but a fungus in my lungs that was treatable with medicine... So recently I decided to digitally enhance the painting to give it more warmth and an interesting texture.
Jesus Christ is depicted here as the Good Shepherd carrying a lost sheep on His shoulders... and I sure felt like a lost sheep stuck in a TB hospital for 2 months... The Bible tells us that He will leave the ninety-nine sheep who are safe in the fold and go and search for the one who is lost... Such a beautiful illustration of how much God loves each one of us. For we all were His His lost sheep until He found us and gently brought us home. "Be their Shepherd and carry them forever" (Psalm 28:9).♥
