About our Series Graphic
The image for the series Peace. Be Still. is Rembrandt's The Storm on the Sea of Galilee. Painted in 1633, this oil-on-canvas masterpiece is Rembrandt's only known seascape. While it was common in this time for painters to engage with biblical themes, Rembrandt does so in a deeply personal way. It brings to life for us the story of Mark 4 where Jesus and his disciples are out on the water and a furious storm threatens to overtake the boat. Jesus, in His power, rests as the disciples frantically try to keep the boat from capsizing. Eventually, their fear overwhelms them, and they come to Christ accusing Him of not caring. In the center of the picture is Rembrandt himself. It is thought that the self-portrait is included as a meditative and theological device, inviting viewers to participate in the scene. He looks directly at us, helping us to identify ourselves both with the storm and with Christ's words, "Peace. Be Still."
These songs as well as the painting are meant to help us bring our fears and anxieties before the Lord, to enter into His story, and to be reminded that 'He alone is our rock... that... we shall not be greatly shaken' (Psalm 62). They are meant only to accompany our study of the Word not to replace it. |
