Majestic Name

from $60.00

As I journaled one morning during Holy Week, I remember being struck by the song of King David in Psalm 8; full of the wonder of creation and how we were put in charge to care for it, set against the backdrop of a world wide pandemic that since 2020 had left us in a time uncertain as we moved into yet another year of the unknown. The words “Your Majestic Name fills the earth” stood out to me. I began to see a vision of what I took to be a dancer filled with joy as I saw arms raised and feet pointed downward. As I continued recording the lines I saw, I realized this figure full of joy was actually Christ’s spirit in joyous triumph on the cross. I wasn't quite sure how to process the emotions of joy with this image, and I was still puzzled by the positioning of the feet, until a friend enlightened me…

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART

I was meditating on Psalm 8, reflecting on the incredible greatness of the created world around me when an image emerged in response to my journaling.

“When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?
Yet you made them only a little lower than God
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority,
the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals,
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
O Lord, our Lord, Your Majestic Name fills the earth!

As I began to draw in my journal, I had a vision of what I at first perceived to be a dancer filled with joy; arms raised up high to celebration, and based on the position of the feet with heel up and toes down, I again assumed a joyful figure in the gesture of dance.

However, as the figure became complete, I was taken aback; as I drew a stroke of what I saw as light across the forehead, a crown of thorns appeared, with strokes of Phthalo blues highlighting the charcoal blacks encircling the head.

As the figure of Christ Jesus on the cross emerged from the soft whiteness of the paper, I was a bit puzzled as the feet position were still dance-like. Then a friend shared with me that this was actually a correct portrayal of the positioning of the feet for crucifixions, placed on the sides of the cross (versus the front as depicted in the traditional Italian paintings).

I looked back at the final drawing again, and sat in awe, as I saw the spacing for the cross was already there, placed between the feet.

The merging of visions of joy mixed with Christ’s sacrifice left me to ponder, and wonder, and then marvel that of course it made sense that joy would be one of the many emotions as Christ’s victory in accomplishing His mission was at hand.
