"Immanuel"

Immanuel, God with Us painting, Baby Jesus artwork, The Birth of Christ painting, Mindi Oaten Art, Jesus Collection

  

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”  Matthew 1:23

~

This precious painting captures the a serene moment surrounding the birth of Jesus, Immanuel, meaning "God with us."  Set against the backdrop of a humble stable, there's a subtle yet powerful portrayal of celestial influence: the radiant beams of light, suggesting the Star of Bethlehem that historically shone over His birthplace, guiding the wise men and announcing the arrival of the Savior.

The scene is illuminating the newborn Jesus, whose feet are graced by the presence of a vibrant monarch butterfly. Known as the "king" of butterflies, its inclusion symbolizes Jesus's divine destiny in the lineage of David. This butterfly, juxtaposed against the tender feet of Jesus, beautifully intertwines the concepts of humble beginnings with the promise of a majestic future, and the One who will crush Satan underfoot. 

Foregrounded is a lamb, an emblem of purity, innocence, and sacrifice, watching over the baby, Immanuel. This serves as a reminder of Jesus's sacrificial role and the salvation he would bring to humanity. The entire composition, with its earthy tones and divine symbols, paints a vivid picture of that holy night when heaven touched earth, God is truly with us.
