“I cannot comprehend the pain and agony Christ endured to atone for the sins of the world. I am so grateful for His love. Only He could atone for the world. He had to do it alone. He had to be alone. Therefore, I chose to portray Christ about a stone’s cast away. He, overwhelmed by the enormity and weight of the task, asked if it were possible that the cup be removed, ‘Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done’ (Luke 22:42)”
