'You have left your first love'

Letter-to-Ephesians.jpg Letter to the Ephesians, by Nicora Gangi

Gangi's pastel drawing points to the warning the church at Ephesus received in Revelation, "You have left your first love." Gangi says,

A watch indicates a set time for judgment--the complete removal of their smoldering lamp--to come on them. The Nativity by Rembrandt, behind the stack of magic books and letters, as well as the pomegranate, point to their early love for Christ. The sheets of music emphasize the church's need to "Sing A New Song, Sing to the Lord of all the earth" (Psalm 96:1).
