Unlike most of the pictures I create for Full of Eyes, this one is topical rather than exegetical. I was asked to create an image that would weave together the themes of Mephibosheth invited to the king’s table (2 Samuel 9), the Christian as the “crippled soul” invited to the Lord’s feast (Luke 14:12-24,
Isaiah 49:9-10, “They shall feed along the ways; on bare heights shall be their pasture; they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them.” I was in Isaiah 47-49 this

Matthew 27:37, “…over His head they put the charge against Him, which read, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” Revelation 22:3, “…the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it…” “…the throne of God and of the Lamb”…..so much could be said about that…but for now, let me confine

Matthew 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Revelation 21:4, “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes…” This is a sweet and well-loved phrase. It is sort of a poetic restatement of Matthew 5:4, “blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” What is the blessedness

In Revelation 17:16 we get a horrific description of the Beast’s hatred for the Prostitute. What makes this so startling is that the Prostitute was riding on/depending on/in league with the Beast just a few verses earlier….it’s a vivid picture of the hatred that underlies any veneer of “love” that Satan and the
Revelation 20 “(10)…the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire…(15) And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” Revelation 3:21, “The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as

Revelation 12:11, “And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.” The enemy is overcome as we trust in and hold fast to the person and work of the Lamb, even pouring out our lives in love as
Revelation 5:9, “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain…” The blood of Christ purchases the opening of the scroll and, therefore, the end and regeneration of the world….
Revelation 2:8, “The words of the First and the Last, who died and came to life…’Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.’” The Church follows after and fellowships with her Lord–through suffering into glory. God give us grace to endure to the end. What I was considering
Revelation 1:5, “…Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings on earth.” Faithful Witness – Crucifixion Firstborn of the Dead – Resurrection Ruler of the Kings – Ascension And this is the one who loves us and freed us from our sins by His blood.
Revelation 1:17-18,”When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying: ‘FEAR NOT, I am the First and the Last, and the Living One. I died, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.’” Whatever our

Psalm 139:16, “…all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Revelation 21:4, “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes…” What a comfort to cast ourselves on the Sovereignty of Overcoming Love.

Revelation 14:10, “…he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of His anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur…” This will be true of anyone who opposes God until the end. But before it is true of them, it is true of God the
Isaiah 53:3,”…a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief…” And so He is uniquely qualified to author, comfort, and finally wipe away our tears.

Revelation 1:5, “…Jesus Christ the faithful witness the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings on earth….who loves us and freed us from our sins by His blood.” Like drops of water splashing into a puddle, kings and presidents, empires and nations rise and fall….but the True King sits enthroned for
