«Chapter 20»

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “MY LORD AND MY GOD!”

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN AND YET HAVE BELIEVED.”

Good Morning, Dan! Thanks again for making these Portrayals of Faith easily accessible for us!
I find it interesting that some artists put the wound in Christ’s side on the right, and some on the left. Was there any particular reason for that?

[Hebrews 11:6]

We discussed that several days ago, Pete, and the consensus here seemed to be: no particular reason.

[etabeta]

Good morning, Dan
Caravaggio, Guercino, Bloch, West, Stom, Duccio, Tissot...great art among many remarkable paintings, sculptures etc.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Greetings, Alba! Lotsa fensters in Round 2 tomorrow!

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and welcome back! Happy Friday ‘Gathering at the Gallery’ to all.

Important illustrations of faith:

#22 Verrocchio (marble?)
#23 Verrocchio (bronze with a smooth finish. Life size?)
#40 Rossi

Thank You Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Important illustrations of faith

We are saved by grace through faith, and although that faith is God's gift, He tailors that gift to each of us. We see that plainly in seven of the apostles:

Judas, whose born-again faith was instead stillborn

Andrew, whom John the Baptist sanded and primed for Jesus' top-coat

Nathanael, into whose private thoughts Jesus broke

John, who took one look at Jesus' abandoned graveclothes and believed on-the-spot

Peter, who took the scenic route, denying Christ thrice and then seeing what John saw without believing

Thomas, who demanded tangible proof, as do so many; but unlike so many, upon actually seeing it: "My Lord and my God!"

Paul, who needed to be knocked literally off his high-horse and onto his butt

“Important illustrations of faith”

And we are so thankful for them, Dan!

[Maudeen]

If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out . . . as the song goes. Thanks for your ministry!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for being a longstanding supporter of it, Pat.

[Sunsong]

Thanks once again for your sacred work, Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It is my immense privilege to have been assigned to it. God has been exceedingly patient with, and encouraging of, me.

[Sunsong]

“It is my immense privilege to have been assigned to it. God has been exceedingly patient with, and encouraging of, me.”

Beautifully and humbly stated.

The more I learn of God’s Love, the more I want to learn...

[thecodont]

Numbers 3 (always a favorite!), 18, 25, 30 and 36.

Thank you for your work on this.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Another of the many Bloch fans, I see. After finishing Revelation in June, I'm planning a Favorite Artists series, featuring their best biblical works. You can be sure ol' Carl will have his day.
