Who drew this? PLEASE Help ;-;

Ok, I've been looking and looking for an online picture of a painting I saw on a book cover in LifeWay (I've been trying to find it so I can show it to a friend). I know the picture appeared on posters and other publications before this book (I believe it was a diary). It is an oil painting, done in the past 5 or so years. It shows a man who has fallen back into the arms of a white cloaked Jesus, who's arms are across the mans chest, holding him up. The mans jeans are dirty at the knees, and he has a mallet in his hand from driving the nails into Jesus. The background of the picture is dark, and the brushstrokes are smooth. I believe the artists name may have been Thomas? But I cannot remember his last name (started with an "S" ?).

If you know the name of the artist or where I can locate a picture of this painting please, super please, tell me? LOL Any help will be greatly appreciated

I have seen that one before, and it is awesome. Thanks for the reminder of it. I did not know the artist's name before.

He also painted Watchers in the Night. What an incredible artist!
