Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Two-Weight Wall Clock
Scripture Reference:
Description: Just as human labor is required to pull the weights of the wall-clock to keep it running, so humans must regularly pull up the weights of their souls to keep them alive and active. In the same way, Paul urges Christians to always give themselves fully to the work of God, knowing that such labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649–1712), whose initials are at the lower right, was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem and wrote the accompanying poem.
