[Hebrews 11:6]

He is like a good teacher who wants the student to come up with the answer on their own.

Jesus and the Spirit are still doing that for every believer, coaxing and prodding and cajoling. Sanctification takes time, the entire rest of our lives.

Thanks for that interesting link. Two comments about the painting. First, the tapestry behind Jesus reads as though He is enthroned. Second, the painting depicts a miracle: no table with such inline legs could possibly stay upright without divine intervention.
