Holding the Light

A strong hand reaches into the open sky, the fingers framing the blazing sun as rays spill outward across the heavens. The composition turns a simple gesture into a devotional symbol of light, creation, and divine authority, recalling the opening of Genesis when God speaks light into existence and separates it from darkness. The sun held at the fingertips suggests humanity standing in awe before the Creator’s power, not possessing the light, but pointing toward the One who made it. This artwork suits Christian themes of creation, worship, illumination, stewardship, and sermons on God as the source of life and truth. by John Baker
