Even the Trees Weep

#27, Auschwitz Album Revisited

Oil Painting by Dr. Pat Mercer Hutchens

Genesis teaches God created all that exists – the heavens, earth and all that has life. Mankind was special, different from the rest of creation, because mankind (men and women) were created in GOD’S IMAGE. “Has not ONE God created us?” (Mal. 2:10) It is not only against God and God’s Image, but against nature to plot to kill a whole body of people. That is what Hitler did. This is what some call for in our time against the Jewish people. Today many are more concerned about a species of animals, birds or fish than they are about Israel and Jews, God’s Covenant people. This is in fact, “contrary to nature.” In this painting, even the trees know that and weep.
