| The Hope of Resurrection Icon |
Artist Statement: Billy Graham wrote: “ There is hope that our mistakes and sins will be forgiven. There is hope that we can have joy. peace, assurance and security in the midst of the despair of this age,. There is hope that Christ is coming and that there will come some day a new heaven and a new earth and that the Kingdom of God will reign and triumph. Our hope is not in our own ability. Our hope is instilled in us by the resurrection of Christ.
