The lamb in this piece walks through a multicolored canvas with a cross above its head. In the Christian tradition, both the cross and the lamb symbolize Jesus, God’s sacrificial lamb. In the lectionary text referenced, Nathan is telling David a parable about a rich man who takes a poor man’s lamb to sacrifice for a guest. The story is told to illustrate to David his sin against Bathsheba and Uriah, and because of David’s contrite response, he is forgiven and his life is spared. The gorgeous plethora of colors in this artwork reflect the beauty in the gift of forgiveness.
