"Come Unto Me"

Art often speaks to our very souls. What a beautiful way to describe death and life ever after!


Awesome piece of sculpture!!  Be sure to read below the picture.

"Come Unto Me"


Notice how the old woman is gazing back at the life that she is leaving...then passes through the veil of death into the open arms of the Savior.
The "Come Unto Me" bronze sculpture took more than a year to make its first appearance. Unveiled in the 2000, the original life-sized bronze monument stands in the grand foyer of the Spilsbury Mortuary in St. George, Utah. 
It has become a scenic attraction, in addition to a comfort to countless families at a most tender time of their lives. It portrays the spiritual journey from mortality to immortality - an aged woman's body returning to its prime and back to the arms of our Savior. 

Death is not the end. We all have an eternal destiny as "Come Unto Me" portrays. 

"For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on
Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16    (KJV)

According to Genesis 19 in the Holy Bible it speaks of Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed and Lot's Family NOT looking back, yet his wife did and she was turned to salt.
1. And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
13. For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
So I see it that you Don't Look Back, but for us humans to make the corrections that the evil ones in government have done we need to see what those things that need to be corrected or just ask God Almighty to show us the correct way to move forward for our Republic.
