The hardwood and canvas tapestry titled “Fear Not” by artist Scott Patton is a breathtaking and triumphant vision of Jesus Christ as the victorious King and mighty Warrior. Inspired by Deuteronomy 31:8—“And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed”—this artwork captures a profound moment of eternal victory, inviting the viewer to behold Christ not just as the Lamb who was slain, but as the Lion of Judah who conquers all darkness.
Jesus stands at the forefront of the composition, robed in radiant white, symbolizing purity, righteousness, and divine authority. His garment flows with movement, echoing the wind of the Spirit and the momentum of conquest. His countenance is fierce yet compassionate, eyes aflame with resolve, a King who has fought for His people and won. His posture exudes absolute dominion. The background, saturated with warm, celestial light and dissolving shadows, gives the impression that the battle is over—the enemy has been vanquished.
In His right hand, Jesus wields a sword still gleaming with power—a symbol of the Word of God, sharper than any two-edged blade. This is no passive figure; this is the Risen One who has descended into the depths, crushed the head of the serpent, and emerged in splendor. In His left hand, He holds the keys of death and hell—a declaration of His authority over the grave and the powers of darkness. Every element of this tapestry communicates a divine reversal: what was once ruled by fear is now flooded with assurance.
The textures of the canvas and the rich wood frame anchor the celestial message in the tangible world, as if to say: this truth is not just for the heavenly realm but for you—here, now. The handcrafted wood, possibly echoing the timbers of the cross, stands in silent testament to the sacrifice that made this victory possible.
Surrounding the image is the verse from Deuteronomy 31:8, elegantly arrayed like a prophetic banner over the scene. It is not merely decorative—it is declarative. The Word becomes flesh on this tapestry. “He will go before you,” the inscription proclaims, and indeed, in this painting, Christ is not waiting for permission—He leads with divine certainty. “He will not leave you nor forsake you,” it continues, reminding the viewer that the One who wins your battles will never abandon you in the aftermath.
This tapestry is more than art—it is a holy summons. It calls every soul that has cowered in fear, every heart that has been chained in darkness, to look up and see the Victor. It reminds us that Jesus did not just come to comfort us in battle, but to win it for us. And in His triumph, we are invited to rise—to live fearless, to stand strong, to walk forward, knowing the One who holds the sword also holds our future.
Indeed, fear not—for the Lord your God, the mighty One, goes before you.
