Justified By Blood

"6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die : yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die .
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Romans 5:6-9

This is a picture I did early on in the semester- I don't even remember what the inspiration was. I just had some idea with thorns and hands. I wish I could fix the hands - they look horrible!! >_< I really like how the rose and the thorns came out though, at least.

Anyways, the meaning to this may not be entirely clear...but I will leave it up to you. There are lots of symbolisms in it!
