You must have come across the Scriptures which indicate exactly what Jesus did while on earth - Acts 10:38 (Amplified Bible) 38 How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, [a]in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him.
If you are needing some inspiration or direction for your works of art, a theme perhaps, or an underlying message, remember, Jesus came to do good to all people. Titus 3:8 Amplified Bible 8 This
message is most trustworthy, and concerning these things I want you to
insist steadfastly, so that those who have believed in (trusted in,
relied on) God may be careful to apply themselves to honorable
occupations and to doing good, for such things are [not only] excellent and right [in themselves], but [they are] good and profitable for the people.
This portion of Scripture indicates that we are to be devoted, or pay
careful attention to "good works" - occupations that are beautiful. If you look at those two words "good works", you find that the heart behind them is being involved in something that has value in that what you do is beautiful and releases people or refreshes them. That is what Jesus did all the time, released people - anyone - from oppression - he refreshed them by what he did. So to can our works of art. If we have in mind to create refreshing, beautiful works, they can release people who are oppressed into God's love and light.
