This hardwood and canvas tapestry by artist Scott Patton, titled “Come to Me,” is a breathtaking visual sermon drawn from the soul-stirring words of Matthew 11:28–30. It captures Jesus Christ at the moment of divine invitation—His arm extended, His gaze filled with compassion, and His entire being radiant with mercy. Rendered in a loose impressionist style, the painting pulses with warmth and movement, as if heaven itself is breaking through the veil to reach the weary soul.
Bathed in soft, ethereal light, Jesus stands at the center—His robe flowing like living grace, shimmering with hints of rose, gold, and ivory. The background swirls in abstract softness, suggesting a divine presence beyond comprehension. There are no sharp lines, no harsh distinctions—only a holy warmth that draws the viewer inward, echoing the heart of the Scripture it portrays: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
His hand is outstretched—not in judgment, but in welcome. It is the gesture of a Savior who sees every burden, feels every sorrow, and beckons the hurting to Himself. His eyes, deep and kind, hold the weight of eternal understanding. You are not just invited—you are seen. You are wanted. You are loved.
Around the border, the sacred words of Matthew 11 are boldly inscribed:
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
These verses are not mere decoration—they are covenant promises, wrapping the entire piece like a whispered assurance to the brokenhearted.
The impressionistic style is deliberate. The loose brushwork suggests motion, spirit, and breath—as though the very presence of Jesus is alive within the fabric. It allows the viewer to feel rather than simply observe, to be drawn in rather than kept at a distance. It speaks of a Savior who cannot be boxed in or fully defined, yet whose invitation is deeply personal and infinitely clear.
This tapestry is more than art—it is an altar. A place of encounter. A sacred moment stretched across canvas and wood. It calls to the soul that has wandered far, to the heart heavy with unseen burdens, to the one who has forgotten how to rest. It is a declaration that rest is not found in escape or avoidance, but in the arms of Christ. In surrender. In trust. In coming to Him.
In “Come to Me,” Scott Patton has painted the heartbeat of the Gospel—an open hand, a gentle Savior, and the promise of rest for all who will simply answer His call.
