Saint John the Baptist

Oil on panel

This panel was part of my Lenten discipline in 2012. I have a particular devotion to Saint John the Baptist, and see him as an "intersection" person.

As so many of us are who minister in the church, he exercised a ministry others held before and to which others succeed. Being able to "let go" and indicate where the next step lies—as John the Baptist did, by pointing to Christ—is a liberating experience, and makes for more effective ministry.

John stands at the turning point of salvation history—as in some way so do we all.
