Mark 10: 21  -  Come Follow Me

The Invitation to Let Go

In the launch post of this series, I spoke about my heart behind creating artwork inspired by the spoken words of Jesus — to explore, visually and spiritually, what His timeless messages mean for us today. I'm humbled and excited to now share the very first piece in the series: "Come Follow Me – Mark 10:21".

This verse holds a weighty challenge. Spoken to the rich young man who earnestly sought eternal life, Jesus’ words go beyond mere instruction. They pierce the heart:


“Jesus looked at him and loved him. ‘One thing you lack,’ he said. ‘Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.’” — Mark 10:21


What strikes me deeply is that Jesus looked at him and loved him before saying the hard thing. This artwork captures that moment — the divine tension between love and surrender, between what we hold tightly and what we’re called to release. It's a moment many of us know well: the invitation to truly follow, even when it costs us something deeply personal.

This painting captures a visual interpretation of that moment – a city in the distance, a winding path through a field of wildflowers, and faint footprints guiding the way toward a glowing figure of Christ on the horizon. To me, this scene is a reminder that no matter where we are in life, we are invited to step away from the distractions and pressures of the world and follow a higher calling, one of service, simplicity, and love.

A Call for Us All

This artwork is rich in detail and emotion — a visual meditation meant to stir the soul. Every element is crafted to draw you deeper into the message of surrender and trust. Let it speak boldly in your home or prayer space, reminding you daily of Christ’s invitation to walk with Him in faith.

Whether you are wrestling with what you need to release, or simply seeking to go deeper in your walk of faith, my hope is that this piece helps you pause, reflect, and respond.
