LUKE 7:11-17

Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”

Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.” This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.

The slain in Nain was raised to live again.........................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Bravo, Eliza!

[Red Badger]

I do little as possible......................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Recite your vowels...........................Agaaaain.

[etabeta]

Many to choose from but they pale in comparison with the stained glass windows.

Never knew of this story, I thought the only one Jesus resurrected was Lazarus.

[Hebrews 11:6]

He has more, including Jairus' daughter--and ME! One of my favorite worship songs is GLORIOUS DAY: "When you called my name, I RAN OUT OF THAT GRAVE!!!"

[etabeta]

Oh, yes, Jairus’ daughter. How could I forget that? Such beautiful miracle!

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Already finished demonstrating, Mary-Lou?

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thousands of people died in Israel during Jesus' public ministry, but He and the Spirit decided to raise only a handful. Many grievers must have wondered, "Why didn't He raise my loved one?" They will learn the reason, eventually....

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hi

[left that other site]

Yes. There will be a full description on the J-Thread. I am writing it now.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well, then, quit wasting time conversing with me and get busy!

[spankalib]

In addition to the main theme of Jesus raising the boy from the dead, I enjoyed the way many of the artists portrayed people's reactions!

In #33, Lund, look at the man's expression at the far left - it's pretty close to how I would have looked if I witnessed such an event! Look at the boy in the center, background, against the wall. His shocked look is almost comical, yet I think Lund is subtly highlighting ppl's reactions by putting him in the center, just past the raised boy.

#37, Altomonte, actually shows a sense of people running away in fear (an understandable reaction, imo).

Tissot, at # 7, is a favorite, for at least one reason, the size of the crowd, AND the number of reactions. It gives a sense of how word of this deed spread like wildfire throughout the area.

#30, Kotarbinsky, there's something about that painting/style...it seems the entire tableau is almost floating off the canvas. It has beauty...it's like a stark beauty!

[Hebrews 11:6]

John, I enjoyed reading your observations.

There MUST have been a visceral reaction when seeing this--shock, fear, disbelief--and, like you, I appreciated Altomonte featuring that. It puts us in the picture with them. And I agree with you about Lund: that boy is "dead-center."

Tissot's painting says to me, "First the Spirit gathered a great crowd, and then Jesus did not disappoint them: He rose to the occasion."

[Forgiven_Sinner]

All WILL be raise in time. God’s timing, not ours.

See Ezekiel 37.

What’s the J-Thread?
