This piece was inspired by the Savior’s own words in the New Testament, “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God” (Mark 10:14). The minimalist style of the painting, with its bright colors, mirrors the simplicity and lightness inherent in a child’s perspective. Jesus stands as the focal point, arms outstretched, engulfed in light as he welcomes the crowd of children.
Through 'Blessed are the Children', viewers are invited to reflect on the sacredness of childhood, the importance of nurturing faith like a child, and the profound love of the Savior, who beckons all to come unto Him. It serves as a reminder of the Savior's tender regard for the innocence and trust of the little ones, encouraging us to approach Him with childlike faith and humility.
