Le temps est court

Jesus stands with uplifted hands above a gathered multitude representing the nations, while a vast clock presses toward midnight beside the words, “NEED SO GREAT” and “TIME SO SHORT.” The composition presents the urgency of Christian mission: the world’s spiritual need is immense, and the window for faithful witness is brief. The crowd of varied faces points to the scope of the Great Commission, where Christ sends His disciples to proclaim the gospel to all nations. The near-midnight clock echoes the biblical call to labor while there is time, awakening the church to prayer, evangelism, and missionary service before the day is spent.
