The Holy Spirit

Cropped version of Christ talking to a rich young man. Christ has His arms extended as He gestures toward a poorly dressed man and woman. The painting depicts the event wherein Christ was approached by a young man who inquired of Christ what he should do to gain eternal life. Christ instructed him to obey the commandments and to give his wealth to the poor and follow Him. The young man was unable to part with his wealth and went away sorrowfully. (Matthew 19:16-26) (Mark 10:17-27) (Luke 18:18-27)
