ARTWORK (painting) Rebirth

Acrylic on canvas paper

‘This means that anyone who belongs to Christ
has become a new person.
The old life is gone; a new life has begun!’
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT


The butterfly has long been a Christian symbol of resurrection, for it disappears into a cocoon and appears dead, but emerges later far more beautiful and powerful than before.As a symbol of Christ's resurrection after three days in the grave, the butterfly is seen especially around Easter. But the butterfly is also a symbol of every Christian's rebirth in christ and shedding of the old self.  

 To be born again is to undergo a "spiritual rebirth", or a regeneration of the human spirit from the Holy Spirit. This is contrasted with the physical birth everyone experiences.
