The Bible In Paintings: NO ROOM AT THE INN

Posted on 10/11/2022 5:49:09 AM PDT by Hebrews 11:6



The Bible In Paintings 2
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S WORD






NO ROOM
AT THE INN




L U K E
CHAPTER 2

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and…there was NO ROOM FOR THEM IN THE INN.

#26
knocks it out of the park
though they are rejected as lodgers, all the yellow and gold in the composition warm my heart and signal the Glory and the Love that is about to come

#15 the interior of the inn
is a hoot
with all the chaos and commotion, it is fitting that God arranged that His Son be born among the sheep, in a pastoral setting

Excellent point. God arranged a private setting just for Joseph and Mary, in order to bless them.

Ever after, the uniqueness of the setting resonated in their memories to match the uniqueness of the blessed event.

NO ROOM AT THE INN

Iconic scenario. Everyone had to go back the family home base, so

It's like what Ellen Griswold said:

"Well I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas, and we're all in misery."

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

The story was that David had to run back to Bethlehem his city, for there was a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

Totally believable!

Good Morning Dan, and joyful day to all.

So many fine choices; many show the great fatigue of Mary.

Love the style in #13 Anderson. Also #25 Copping; the late hour, the dark street, but mostly the crowd from the inn, all looking out. Would love to hear etabeta’s analysis on this one.

Thank you Dan =:^)

As far as I know, she's not omniscient.
