Chapter 12*

Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”

Thank you, Alba! So sorry I missed that—it is exquisite!

That’s a nice one etabeta; plenty of emotion there!

Would like your thoughts on #22; is this a sculpture or a relief? Is it fired clay? Maybe it was made separately, then inserted in the ‘frame’. Any idea of the scale?

Thank you =:^)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you enjoyed the presentation.

And our Lord has indeed given us another day in which we may grow closer to Him and to one another.

[etabeta]

To me it looks like a polychrome wood sculpture made to fit in the niche. Sorry, no idea of the scale. I will add the same photo from another angle.

“some”

Are we to understand that you do not appreciate what One Guy has contributed, BRB?

[InkStone]

Thank you most sincerely etabeta. This view certainly shows that yes, it seems to be sculpture, and as you said, polychrome wood. Such a nice piece. The figures may be a couple of feet tall, but can’t tell exactly.

I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD KNOW =:^)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Using Google Image Search, I found it here: Christ and the Sinner.

I have added it, belatedly and thanks solely to you, to his page in my forthcoming Favorite Artists series.

[etabeta]

Yes, I was reading an article on this subject and they had included this photo, of course I grabbed it to send it to you.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It is so typical of him: simple closeup.

Can't wait to publish his page, but the tentative date is June 6th.

Thanks for your work on this.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’m thinking there is a Secret Handshake

There certainly is, but it's not quite what one might expect:

"Greet one another with a holy kiss." Romans 16:16

"Greet one another with a holy kiss." 1 Corinthians 16:20

"Greet one another with a holy kiss." 2 Corinthians 13:12

"Greet all God’s people with a holy kiss." 1 Thessalonians 5:26

When we get to heaven, my FRiend, I will recognize you because you will be the guy grinning from ear to ear.

And I will be the gal laying at Jesus’ feet, anointing Him with oil. (if He lets me)
I will also have cat hair stuck to my long white robe.

For years I have been a little envious of Mary, that she had opportunity to crawl before Him, totally surrender to Him, and to love and worship Him so honestly.
