CHAPTER 1*

A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.

Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: “See that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. YET THE PEOPLE STILL CAME TO HIM FROM EVERYWHERE.

Good Morning Dan, and joyful December first, to all.
Jesus Yeshua was not afraid to touch this outcast; look how He has touched each of us in our brokenness!

Thank you Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Jesus Yeshua was not afraid to touch this outcast; look how He has touched each of us in our brokenness!

My greatest joy in reading viewers' comments is when someone derives and pronounces the lesson inherent in the scripture.

Thank you, Leon.

Leprosy, aka Hansen’s Disease, is still a problem in the world and even the US.

ARMADILLOS and MICE are known to be carriers of the bacterium that causes leprosy.

So, if you are going to eat an armadillo (I have) be sure to wash it thoroughly in hot water and even alcohol.................

[Hebrews 11:6]

if you are going to eat an armadillo

Not very likely, but thanks for the warning.

Jesus healing a Leper for me was a direct parallel to covid BS that took place.
I even pointed it out to some people that called themselves Christians they didn't get it at all.

the leper was bidden under the Jewish Law to wars others off, in the words," Unclean! un-clean!"
IE: a psyops 2000 years ago. Which Jesus helped to brake the psyops

Underneath that shell is a huge portion of meat. But it is TOUGH and Chewy. Pressure cook it for a couple of hours with a lot of salt and garlic. Save the shell, it makes a nice basket.........................

#1 and #2 by Doze; #6 by Copping; the stained glass window at #13 and finally #16 and #17. Thank you, Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Alba, have you noticed how much Copping's paintings resemble Hole's? At least to me, they do. As I scroll down I can always spot a Hole, and the only times I get fooled are by a Copping.

They both achieve a signature granular effect, for want of a better term, and use warm colors, that no one else seems to attempt.

Brisket de Armadillo; oh Joy of Days!

Provecho!

[etabeta]

Both were excellent illustrator/painters. I love how Hole seems to have capture the “feeling” of the land: the light, the sun bleached buildings, the olive trees, the dusty road. It’s an image of great serenity.
That moment in time frozen by the brush of Copping is broken by the expression of the woman in gray leaning against the wall, we can imagine her holding her breath.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks, Alba.

Wow
more excellent work
#4 and #7 especially express the love and mercy of Jesus Christ

He is not afraid or offended by the leper. Instead, He embraces the leper and pours out tender mercies.

Imagine the joy and the hope that filled the leper’s heart after this event. Christ gives us new life!

possum on the half shell

I’ll pass
I’ve cooked possum but no desire to eat it (kind of reminds me of a giant rat)
Never have nor ever will cook armadillo

lol I must be a princess

[Hebrews 11:6]

Imagine the joy and the hope that filled the leper’s heart after this event. Christ gives us new life!

Nailed it. Thanks.
