Gary Varvel: Born unto you, a Savior

Another one of my dual-image cartoons to remind us of the Reason for the Season

In 2013, I drew this dual-image cartoon of the face of Jesus, titled, “Savior.”

This idea came to me as I read Luke 2:11, “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

The birth of a child is a joyous event. But Jesus wasn’t just any child. Jesus left heaven to become one of us so that He could save us from our sin penalty. That baby born in a manger would become the Savior who died on the cross.

Hidden in this artwork is Joseph watching over the babe in the manger, while Mary is sitting on a stone with her back to us. The darkness of her back appears to form the gaping mouth of Jesus. I imagine that He is saying, “It is finished!”

This Christmas, remember the first Christmas gift — God so loved you and me, that He gave is One and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Merry Christmas
