Chapter 17

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL.”

JESUS HEALS 10 LEPERS,
BUT ONLY 1 THANKS HIM

[OKSooner]

I would have been one of the other nine.

God Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

I certainly have been, much too often.

Hi from Earthquake Central, Mary-Lou!

[Robert A Cook PE]

And, just looking at the “art” displayed here, the “Modern Art” themes and paintings look like childish crayon papers collected at random from the trash cans of a second and third grade classroom.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Did they tell the story?

This is not an art series, it is a Bible series, which uses whatever art is available to illustrate the text. I looked for a lovely Cook to augment today’s meager fare, but....

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and ‘appreciative mid-week’ to all.

Certainly one of the best stories of the Savior’s ministry.

#17 Rane

Dan, Thank You for your work in founding the Biblical Art University Gallery.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hi, Leon. Thanks for chiming in—always a pleasure hearing from you.

I’drather have a blizzard than an earthquake, but everybody has different tastes. It’s what makes the world interesting.

Luke 17:14 (NASB)
And as they were going, they were cleansed.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dan (or anyone) I have a question RE: how much time passed as these men walked away from the Savior? Anyone have an answer? Sometimes God does not heal immediately.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well, it wasn’t so long that returning to thank Him had become too burdensome a journey to make.

[nomorelurker]

“This is not an art series, it is a Bible series, which uses whatever art is available to illustrate the text.”

Yes, I like the “Masters” but today 19 and 20 were good.

[Hebrews 11:6]

If it’s in crayons and tells the story, I am happy to include it, for that might be the one the Holy Spirit uses to break through into someone’s heart.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’ve never been in a blizzard. Have you ever ridden an earthquake?

Favorite for this wonderful healing by Jesus:
#1 Tissot
#4 Surugue - etcher and engraver from a French family of artists.
#16 Hole
#17 Walter Rane - Probably my favorite, just the grateful and humble reverence as the healed man prostrates at the feet of Jesus. Very intimate and sacred moment.
Imaginative #18 by the American illustrator and painter of religious and fantasy art James Christensen.

Does flying over an erupting volcano in an open-door helicopter with one’s best friend dying in her arms count?

How about Hurricane Katrina?

Or riding a tornado (small one) on my Harley?

If not, then I have never ridden an earthquake. But I’ve had a few adventures with the planet.

The idea of the earth opening up and swallowing me like Dathan and Korah doesn’t appeal to me at all. LOL. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you, Alba.

It is so pleasantly inspiring to have the well-informed critique of a woman of faith, which you bless us with daily. We are in your debt.

When I began this series, knowing next-to-nothing about art, I wondered whether the Lord would raise up people like you to inform and inspire us. Thank you for meeting that challenge.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Touché.
