This was a one-afternoon drawing, where I got the idea and banged it out with pretty much no break. I had to go back and redraw the manna because my wife said it looked too much like a pot of gold. The rocks were a little bit of a challenge as well. It would have helped to have a reference photo to work from there. I debated whether or not to color this one, but it's much more obvious what everything is in color, so I'm glad I did. Not only are each of these three pictures explicitly linked to Christ, each represents an unlimited source of grace: There was always more manna, more water, and more healing left after everyone who wanted it was satisfied. Even more, the references to Christ also contain unlimited language. The bread of heaven was given "for the life of the world." The water of life is offered to "all who are thirsty." Christ's lifting up is proclaimed to "draw all men." The pictures Christ has chosen to represent his universal offering illustrate an over-abundance: Grace on grace! I set this one's process video to music as well. The song is "Come Ye Sinners," performed by The Petersens.
