Hiya, Ben.

Good Morning Dan, and a glad Sunday to all.

Favorite #32 - anyone know this artist?

Thank you for posting these instructive lessons Dan.

As she trusted our Savior, can we exhibit the same faith?

Hebrews 11:6: "he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

Yes Dan! What a promise!

Tissot, Hole, Copping, always!
#12 and the marble carving at #28.
#32, how well depicted the tiredness, the suffering, the pleading in the woman’s face.
Another great Ravenna mosaic at #33 and I love the abstract realism of Walker at #35.
Well done, Dan!

Love the story of the Gentile Woman healed “by faith only”. How ironic that Pharisees had problems with that too!

Saving Grace of Christ by Faith follows other Gentiles:
Acts 9 - Son of Ham Saved
Acts 10 - Son of Shem Saved (Paul)
Acts 11 - Son of Japheth Saved (Cornelius)

Not works...but Grace thru Faith.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you approve, Alba.

Even two millennia later, I am happy for her. The four gospels present us with an abundance of folk whom Jesus blessed so wonderfully. And for those who love Him, we are well aware that He dispenses such healings and blessings most liberally.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Not works, nor lineage.

Nice catch: Ham/Shem/Japheth healings.

“Not works, nor lineage”

[Hebrews 11:6]

It has always astounded me how slow the disciples were to finally understand that salvation has come (a) through Jesus' death and resurrection and (b) even to the Gentiles [double forehead smack].

Their dullness shows how perfectly they represent the common man: Jesus didn't choose twelve Pharisees but instead ignorant fishermen and unholy publicans--and me.

LOL--perhaps the Sanhedrin were just jealous they didn't get picked for the team. "Put me in, Coach!"

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

A very Merry Christmas to you, Mary-Lou.

One might say this is the most touching story in the Bible.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes—but it does have plenty of competition, your double entendre notwithstanding.

Amen Dan. The Savior indeed does all things well.

Although many of the images imply, #21 shows a firm warm hand lifting a woman who, under the laws of Leviticus, was more untouchable than the lowest untouchable in India.

A stunning act of kindness and empathy to a woman who in desperation stole what would have been freely given.
