feasting in the kingdom of heaven

Becky Baker recently shared her vision of feasting in heaven, a deliciously complex image full of meaning. Her sketch here is for a base of fired clay with images of collaged paper and paint to show a feast in heaven "among our beloved pets and family." On the lower section of the piece is an image of hell, separated from the feast. She says she also "will include an angel or two to show that they will be at the service of man in heaven." (See Hebrews 1:14.)

Becky's scriptural reference for this piece is Luke 14:15 which says, "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God." This concept of feasting in heaven is repeated several times, including in Isaiah 25:6, Matthew 8:11 and Revelation 19:9. That's a meal you won't want to miss...
