One of my pastors, Scotty Smith, asked David Arms to capture "the Story from which all other stories come." The original is hanging at Christ Community Church. I have never been moved so deeply by a piece of art.
Arms beautifully captured creation, the fall, redemption, and the new creation in his painting. God's story, spoken through his word jumps off the canvas (or print in my case).

I loved Scotty's explanation of the symbolism in the painting. I don't always catch symbolism in art so reading the explanation of the three different types of birds and the fruit that bleeds off the canvas in the fourth panel made me appreciate and enjoy the painting even more. Thanks for sharing!
