THE COST OF FORGIVENESS

THE COST OF FORGIVENESS

Original charcoal artwork on canvas depicting Christ crowned with thorns by contemporary artist Josh Hernandez.

The Cost of Forgiveness reflects the profound weight carried in the act of redemption. Christ appears in quiet profile beneath the crown of thorns, his face partially consumed by shadow while light gathers along the edges of his suffering. The moment feels deeply intimate and solemn, as though the silence itself holds the gravity of what is being endured. Forgiveness is often spoken of as grace freely given, yet this work meditates on the immense sacrifice that made such grace possible. Within the darkness, the suffering becomes a testament to love, revealing the depth of what was borne so that mercy could be offered.
