THE CRIMSON COVENANT

The purpose of these illustrations was to utilize multiple layers of symbolism and easter eggs to help tell these familiar stories, while also emphasizing the weight and importance that blood has throughout the Bible as a symbol of covenant, sacrifice, redemption, and restoration.

The series begins with Adam and Eve in the Garden, where humanity's fall into sin reveals our separation from God and the need for sacrifice. The story then moves to Abraham, Isaac, and Sarah, where God provides a ram in place of Isaac, pointing ahead to an even greater sacrifice to come. Next is Moses, the burning bush, and the blood of the Passover, highlighting God's faithfulness, His covenant with His people, and His power to save. The fourth illustration focuses on King David, Bathsheba, and the young Solomon, showing God's promise of an everlasting kingdom and foreshadowing the future Temple as a symbol of His presence among His people.

The series concludes with Christ, the second and greater Adam, whose sacrifice fulfills every sacrifice that came before Him. Together, these illustrations tell one connected story: throughout Scripture, blood was required to atone for sin, but every sacrifice pointed toward Jesus. His death became the perfect and final sacrifice, making redemption and reconciliation between God and humanity possible.
