A man walks up a hill of rough thorny grass with a boy lifted on his shoulders. I had pictured a father and son relationship, as Proverbs 10-12 describe a father leading his son in wisdom, for his protection:
"Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble."
I dressed the man in a white robe, resembling a traditional looking Jesus. Thus the painting reminds us that it is Christ that carries us over the impossible into God's kingdom.
