What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard
“What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard..”
I’ve had this one on a side easel for couple years - inspired by truth in 1 Corinthians 2:9, where St. Paul teaches that the wonders God has prepared for the faithful are beyond what our human senses or imagination can grasp—ultimately pointing to the fullness of the mystery revealed in Christ and realized in heaven. It’s a nod to the need of our humility to God’s wisdom, which is bigger than our human experience; its only by the Holy Spirit that we can begin to experience hints of the beauty and magnitude of God’s plan.
“What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard…” paints both the hope of heaven and a hidden nature of God’s plan—especially the mystery of salvation unveiled in the Paschal Mystery of Christ. The wisdom and love poured out through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus were once hidden and now are revealed to those who seek Him in faith.
The imagery of the eye, ear, skull and heart—I used as focal—mirroring St Paul’s teaching that love and eternal life cannot be fully discerned by sight, hearing, or even the deepest stirrings of the human heart without Gods revelation.
