«Chapter 9»

Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and YOU WILL BE TOLD WHAT YOU MUST DO.”

The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

Fenster galore!!!! Great page, Dan.

Good Morning Dan, and good day to all.

Wow, so many exciting paintings! And dramatic glass, reliefs and sculpture too. You’ve well illustrated this epic moment that changed world history.

Grateful for your ministry Dan!

Fenster Galore!!!!

Your new nickname, LOL.

[Hebrews 11:6]

this epic moment that changed world history.

It is impossible to minimize this event in any way.

Hugh Ross points out that, whereas we might expect prodigious lines of believers waiting thousands of years in heaven to speak with Paul, in heaven we will be able to communicate with multiple believers simultaneously; so there will be no lines at all.

Lots of Horses...nicely Done.

I’d like to know if Jonah
Came to his senses.
Like Paul if God’s got a plan
For you ‘Get with His Program!’

[Hebrews 11:6]

Your coupling of Paul and Jonah, which had not occurred to me, seems most apropos. God had to tale extreme measures in order to overwhelm both. And the fruit of His labors, in Jonah’s case the repentance of 100,000 Ninevites and in Paul’s half of the New Testament, fully justify the overwhelming.

Impossible to pick a favorite glass piece.
So much good stuff today.
#68 is excellent as far as paintings go...
But I must say that I am really drawn to #75
the artist shows remarkable discipline

[Hebrews 11:6]

Ol’ Schnorr is a frequent contributor to these pages, although rarely in color.

“Disciplined” seems a good description for him.

[Big Red Badger]

Bravo !

Poor Jonah...
To go thru Eternity
Smelling of Fish Bait.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well, metaphorically, perhaps. But we’ll all get new duds in the sweet by-and-by.
