The angels gather to witness this masterful creation of the Word of God, unprecedented to the world. It will guide through the darkness and protect against evil.

Directly translated, the french word TROUVAILLE means, “something beautiful discovered by chance”.

This was an appropriated original design, from the first collection - PROMESSES non TENUES. Inspired by the master paintings of Caravaggio and Rembrandt, this painting is a composite of many different master paintings. The lion is symbolic of Jesus Christ. Many people have the understanding that Jesus is as “innocent as a lamb and as powerful as a lion”. Although, this is a nice sentiment, it is a simplified explanation to help children understand more deeply who Jesus is, it barely scratches the surface of a full understanding of His identity.

In both the Old and New Testaments, Jesus is beautifully depicted as the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah. As the Lamb of God, He is portrayed as the sacrificial offering for the sins of humanity, just as a spotless lamb was offered as a means of atonement in the ancient Jewish traditions. Jesus is identified as such in the Gospel of John 1:29, where John the Baptist recognizes, Jesus, as the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.
In contrast, the Lion of Judah represents Jesus' strength, power, and authority. The imagery of a lion is often associated with a ruler or a king, and in Genesis 49:8-12, it is prophesized that the Lion of Judah will come from the tribe of Judah. “Much later in history, Jesus, the Messiah, descended from Judah and King David, will also be known as the Lion of Judah. Part of Jacob's prediction is a prophecy about Messiah and the everlasting nature of His rule” (Commentary about this Scripture Passage provided from www.bibleref.com/Genesis/49). This symbolism is further emphasized in the book of Revelation, where Jesus is referred to as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, emphasizing His regal nature that He will posses when he returns to judge the people of this World.
Together, these depictions of Jesus reveal the beautiful duality of His being. As the Lamb of God, He demonstrates His humility and sacrificial love for humanity, offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice. Simultaneously, as the Lion of Judah, He displays His strength and authority, triumphing over sin and death.

For you intellectuals out there follow along with a more in depth reflection on these prophesies and how Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of these (and hundreds of others for that matter), with Bishop Robert Barron.
