The Beginning

So I have been sitting at my desk for the last few days working away on my comic, still unsure which comic I should upload first… and now I have 4 minutes left before the deadline, and I have decided with this one.

I figured since this is ‘the beginning’ of my comic strip and launch of my website, it is a good one to start with.

I was once listening to a preacher teach on Genesis one, and he talked about so many things, and used a lot of big words I didn’t understand, but nothing about Jesus. As I sat there I thought to myself  ‘surely if Jesus is God’s eternal plan, and he is the centre of all things, we can preach about him not only from the beginning of the New Testament, but also from the beginning of the Old Testament’. So I asked God about it, and he answered by saying to me ‘Who is the beginning?’

It’s actually quite amazing, I always thought about the beginning as a moment in time, when actually it’s a person (pause, and think about it)

I hope you like the first edition of ‘Searching for grace’. Please comment and give your feedback. I will be updating with new comics every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Blue skies,

Mick

    Hi Mick,
    I am just now starting to read your comics and all the comments that follow. I also like to read your explaination of the comics according to the grace walk. Mick, God has filled you with His grace and truth. How do you do the drawings of your comics? Do you do them by hand or a computer program. Just curious:)
    Thank you, Grace
    Joke: Do you know how to keep a turkey in suspence? I’ll let you know how you keep a turkey in suspense tomorrow.

      Angnes, thanks for taking the time to look through my comics/comments and all the rest; and thanks for your kind words.
      In regards to how I do my comics, I draw them on a computer tablet (like a small drawing board) by hand using a bamboo tablet and a program called art rage. I also use photoshop to then do the layout of the comic and add the text.

      Got a good laugh out of your joke too ;-)
      Have a wonderful week.

      It’s really, really amazing that the beginning is not a moment in time, but a person! The person of Jesus IS the beginning. Woohooo!

    Me too! Not only we are in the beginning, in Christ, we are also in the Father (Jn 10:38). Hallelujah!

    This is a great way to highlight some of the pitfalls that we see in today's church, in a way that is relevant and yet lighthearted at the same time.

      Thanks for the encouragement Paul, I hope the comic makes people laugh, but also 'think' about some of the themes discussed in the comic, it's been a fun journey so far!
