DALL·E 3: An Art Nouveau lifeline artwork for Hebrews 7:23-25, symbolizing the transition from the mortal priesthood to the eternal presence of Jesus. The artwork should feature elegant, flowing lines that intertwine symbols of mortality with those of eternal life, centered around a representation of Jesus. The style should be characteristic of Art Nouveau, focusing on decorative, fluid lines and organic forms. The composition should visually contrast the transient nature of the old priests with the everlasting, luminous presence of Jesus, using a harmonious color palette to emphasize the theme of eternal life.
Jesus is a priest forever (Heb 7:23–25)
