The redeeming love of God is shown forth with transforming power in the crucified Christ. The sun is darkened. Only Mary, the mother of Jesus, and John, the Beloved Disciple, remain with Jesus. St. Matthew is shown with a money bag signifying his occupation as a tax collector, which he left to follow Jesus. The Gospel of Matthew, the earliest of the four Gospels is normally attributed to him. Zephaniah was a Judean prophet, possibly descended from the Davidic line, who was active during the reign of Josiah. Zephaniah's words cover these three main topics: condemnation of Judah and Jerusalem for religious sins, condemnation of foreign nations, and promises of salvation for God's people. In loving memory of John Marshall.
