One day as I was praying, I was overcome by the extent of the need in the world and I was crying out to God about it. In my mind, I saw millions of faces of all the many, many people who are hungry, destitute, in poverty, in slavery, oppression etc. Then suddenly, it was as if I was zooming out from all these faces and I saw them all fit inside the scars on Jesus’ hands.

This painting was inspired by that vision.
