For You And For Me

In the quiet glow of a humble stable, the newborn Christ lies swaddled in simple cloth, resting in a manger filled with straw. The roughness of His surroundings contrasts with the gentleness of His face, a tender reminder that heaven’s King entered the world in the most unassuming way. The muted tones and soft textures carry a sense of stillness, as though all creation holds its breath in reverence.
“For You and For Me” captures the heart of the Gospel: that the Savior came not in splendor or grandeur, but in humility—for shepherds and kings alike, for the broken and the whole, for you and for me. His birth was heaven’s greatest gift wrapped in the fragility of flesh, yet carrying the fullness of God’s love.
This painting invites the viewer to kneel beside the manger, to see not just an infant child but Emmanuel—God with us. It echoes the promise of John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
