This evocative oil painting by artist Scott Patton, titled "Walking by Faith," is a powerful visual interpretation of 2 Corinthians 5:7 — “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” It also alludes to the poignant Gospel moment when Peter stepped out onto the water in an act of raw faith to follow Jesus.
In this impressionist-style work, Jesus is seen gently holding the hand of a young woman as they walk together atop the rolling waves of the sea. The water is richly textured with deep blue hues and expressive brushwork, conveying both the beauty and volatility of the ocean. Yet the figures are calm and unshaken, seemingly untouched by the chaos beneath their feet — a visual metaphor for the sustaining power of faith amidst life’s storms.
The woman, clothed in a flowing white garment, looks downward with humility and reverence, a picture of trust and surrender. Jesus, adorned in His traditional robes, gazes at her with both strength and compassion. His steady presence suggests divine guidance and unwavering love, reminding viewers that even when we cannot see the way ahead, we are not alone.
The light in the background bathes the scene with a heavenly glow, symbolizing hope and the unseen realm that faith opens up to the believer. The painting doesn't just depict a biblical moment — it extends a timeless invitation: to step out, trust, and walk in communion with the Savior, even when the path seems uncertain.
This artwork captures the essence of the Christian journey — not a walk by sight, but a walk by trust in the One who never lets go.
