To: Hebrews 11:6

All are fine examples of this miracle. #3 by Bloch, the great Danish painter well known for his depiction of the ministry of Christ.
#6 by Murillo.
There is some symbolism in the painting by Ramsey at #10. Christ stands between the paralytic and the waters of the pool. The pool represents the false hope of men for healing, Christ, with his larger than life figure, is intentionally obstructing the superstition of men with the promise of eternal healing represented by the sky and the light emanating from above. Very compelling.
#16 by Copping; #19 and #30.

Ramsey’s Christ towers over the paralytic, who has a choice: deal with Him now, or later find out how He towers at the Great White-Throne Judgment.

Your teaching helps us- as we look at each painting, to look more deeply and understand the meanings of the symbols. Thank you =:^)

#10 reminds me very much of a dream I had many years ago (the coloring and vision). I was, however, so terrified I woke up with a scream. I realized almost immediately how disappointing it was to wake myself and I felt badly about being afraid…but I’ve always remembered this dream and always will.
