This image symbolises that Jesus took all the gunk of our lives to leave us clean and pure. If this were animated, the end result would be Jesus covered in red and the man on the floor in pure white.
The red gunk on the man holds him back in life. It makes him feel guilty, it makes him feel trapped, it makes it harder for him to be joyful. If that was you, what would that gunk represent? What is it that holds you back?
This is the part of the Bible that inspired this image. What Jesus did when he died on the cross is he made a way for us to be healed. He made a way for all of that gunk to be gotten rid of. He made a way for us to have peace and joy. He offers us healing, if we choose to accept it and follow him.
If that is something that you'd like to do, take a moment to pray this prayer:
Jesus, I need you,
I'm tired of doing things my way,
I need your help,
help me to start doing things your way,
I invite you into my life to be my friend,
to be my king, to be my saviour.
Help me to trust you,
help me to love you,
help me to live for you,
Thank you Jesus,
Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, we'd really encourage you to tell someone about it.
