CHRIST IN THE
OLD TESTAMENT

Before Bethlehem, Jesus intervened often in this world. This series presents some of those occasions.

JESUS, CREATOR
OF ALL THINGS

GENESIS 1-2
[Moses’ Record]

In the beginning GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.

JOHN 1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. THROUGH HIM ALL THINGS WERE MADE; WITHOUT HIM NOTHING WAS MADE THAT HAS BEEN MADE. In him was life, and that life was the light of men… He was in the world, and THE WORLD WAS MADE THROUGH HIM, and the world did not know Him.

1 CORINTHIANS 8

…Jesus Christ, THROUGH WHOM ALL THINGS CAME…

COLOSSIANS 1

[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. FOR BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

...Before Abraham was, I AM.....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yep!

[etabeta]

Welcome back, Dan!

Edward Burne-Jones, Blake, Brueghel, Ghiberti, Dore’, exceptional paintings.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks, Alba. I’ve not been idle....

[Maudeen]

Looking forward to another of your series!

[Big Red Badger]

Happy New Year Dan !
New Series Looks Great...
Happy to Be Here !

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks, Pat.

[Hebrews 11:6]

And I’m glad you are here.

#13, by Bill Bell is just...happy. I love looking at all the animals - the gorilla & monkey(s) made me laugh! - and all the others make me smile :)

Dan, the #13-#15 group is incredibly colorful…gorgeous and bright. Sushobha Jenner’s piece is just spectacular. I love the Burne-Jones series and Michealangelo’s “separating light and darkness” reminds me of the power and motion in his sculptures.

Overall this is a highly imaginative and creative group of works, the subject matter of God’s creativity brings out the creativity in the artists.

John, perhaps a career-change to zoology?

[Hebrews 11:6]

the subject matter of God’s creativity brings out the creativity in the artists.

It will be fun to learn, eventually, how the Holy Spirit impacted and influenced those artists.

Welcome back and HNY, Dan

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks! And to you.

Happy New Year!
What a great way to start...In the beginning...

ps - I finally ordered season 3 of The Chosen and should get it this week. I learned that one of my brothers and his family are also big Chosen fans.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Season 4 debuts in theaters February 1 and will be released for free viewing soon thereafter.

Regarding Season 3: BUCKLE UP!
