[Hebrews 11:6]

THE LIFE OF



JESUS CHRIST

PART SEVEN

OF ELEVEN

[etabeta]

One better than the other. So great to have this collection of paintings in one thread. Thanks, Dan, as always.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hi, Alba! Love me some Tissot....

[left that other site]

I did not discover Tissot untill 11 years ago when I started illustrating the J-Thread.

Now I can’t get enough of him! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Tissot Anonymous?

[left that other site]

LOL

[Maudeen]

What a treasure trove! So love the one story per painting! I’m determined to read/listen to them all.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Hmmm. The one with Mary Magdalene at Jesus’s feet. Luke 10 says:

Martha and Mary
38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus[d] entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary.[e] Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

This is Mary of Bethany, not Mary Magdalene. I believe Catholic tradition says they were the same.

I won’t argue. But I’ll call her Mary of Bethany.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

#162, the Good Samaritan. That really looks like the road from Jericho to Bethlehem, which I rode several times in our tour bus. Quite a climb from 1000 feet below sea level up to Jerusalem.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Kudos to Tissot for depicting so many scenes from Jesus’s life. The last one, of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, is so poignant. That’s really how the Temple Mount looks from the Mount of Olives, and as you’re climbing from the back side, Jerusalem suddenly appears before you.

I can just imagine Jesus seeing it and knowing its destruction was coming and weeping for the intransigence of the human heart.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I agree with you, Jeff. My editorial problem, not just with today's single picture but much more back when I ran an entire thread illustrating that story, is that so many artists confuse the two Marys that to preserve biblical strictness I would be forced to deprive everyone of half the images.

So, let me just suggest you emulate me: enjoy the art and hold your nose with the captions.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Don’t forget to eat and sleep, Pat!

[Hebrews 11:6]

weeping for the intransigence of the human heart

He still is, all day every day.

[Maudeen]

The eating . . . I never forget. . .the sleeping. . . .let’s just say I need more.

[Red Badger]

THE LORD WEPT ON A DONKEY?...................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Why not?

[Red Badger]

I was mistaking that painting for the other ‘Jesus Wept’ passage........ When He was informed of Lazarus death.............

[Hebrews 11:6]

People who know Scripture well, like you and I, have hundreds of stories and incidents to keep straight. Recall my error of two days ago when I conflated the Two Witnesses with the Transfiguration attendees.

[Red Badger]

It will make an interesting Bible trivia question:

How many times, according to the New Testament, did Jesus weep?...............

Think real hard before answering..................
