The Waiting Bride - Unframed Print

This piece captures the profound anticipation of the Church, the bride of Christ, as she awaits the return of her Bridegroom, Jesus. This piece reflects the vigilant and hopeful posture that believers are called to embody, symbolized by the bride holding a lantern—a reminder of the call to keep our lamps burning as we await His return. This artwork echoes the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13, where Jesus teaches the importance of being prepared and watchful, for we do not know the hour of His coming. The bride’s readiness in this painting reflects the heart of the believer who stays faithful, longing for the day when Christ will return to take His Church to Himself, as described in Revelation 19:7-9: "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!
