“Be Not Afraid” captures the moment Christ steps onto the storm-tossed waters and approaches the disciples’ boat, His presence breaking through the night with a quiet, commanding light. Rendered in charcoal on toned paper, the scene draws the viewer into the tension between fear and faith—the darkness of the storm contrasted with the radiance surrounding Jesus as He walks toward those who are struggling.
Every fold of the robe, every ripple in the water, and every silhouette in the boat is shaped to communicate the same truth revealed in Scripture: that even in the deepest uncertainty, Christ comes near. This piece invites contemplation of Matthew 14:27—“Take courage. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Hand-drawn by artist Gage Kinney, this work blends classical chiaroscuro with modern emotional realism, offering a powerful reminder of the One who steps into our storms with authority, compassion, and peace.
