The Puzzle of Love

The painting depicts a man running towards Jesus on the cross, carrying a poignant symbol of Jesus’ love – a jigsaw puzzle piece shaped like a portion of Jesus’ body and heart. The puzzle piece represents the man’s longing to be complete in Jesus, while the missing pieces of the puzzle signify Jesus’ heart, highlighting His immense love for
the man.
 
In the background, a massive chessboard stretches out, symbolising the mind games and struggles of life. However, the chessboard is being transformed into a jigsaw puzzle, with pieces coming together to form a larger image of Jesus on the cross. This represents how God orchestrates our lives, turning our struggles into opportunities for growth and redemption.
 
The cross serves as a bridge, representing the man’s journey towards salvation by faith and the power of Jesus’ love. As he runs towards Jesus, the puzzle pieces begin to fall into place, signifying the transformative power of Jesus’ love, which completes and heals the brokenness in our lives.
 
The painting masterfully conveys the message that our hope and redemption lie in Jesus’ love, which is the greatest gift of all. By carrying the puzzle piece, the man is acknowledging that Jesus is the missing piece that completes him, and that His love is the ultimate victory over the struggles of life.
