The Book of Mormon tells the story of the brother of Jared, who asked God to touch stones so they would shine. To honor his faith and his request, God stepped through the veil of forgetfulness to reveal Himself to the brother of Jared. Koch paints the brother of Jared, his hands raised up in awe as God steps before him. The stone on the rock shines with light.
“The brother of Jared’s faith allowed him to ultimately see the face of God. We also seek to become like Jesus Christ and to see Him again.”
—David Koch
