I painted this with the scripture in mind,
"…Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty. But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire…" – Malachi 3:1-2
I based the portrait on Jim Caviezel's version of Jesus, because I think it strongly resembles Rembrandt's Christ.
