Veiled Method

Acrylic on Canvas, 24 x 36 inches

This is the second painting of the “RUKUS” series on gospel street preaching. As the street preacher on the right presents the gospel, God’s method is veiled to him—he can’t perceive if anyone hears his message. The crowd appears to ignore the preacher, but the unseen man under the stairs listens.

The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. God promises the Word will not come back void. Will the preacher trust in these truths?
