“The Confession of the Centurion”
Luke 23:47
The ROMAN Centurion had no problem in believing that Jesus was the Son of God.
Their mythology was full of instances where there were human sons and daughters of their gods.
Almost as if they were pre-programmed to accept the idea................................. 😉
Difficult to reflect on the horrific suffering of Jesus, emotional rendering by Tissot of the last event of Christ’s public ministry. Love #280, the view from the cross.
Again powerful stuff. I also like 280. I had never thought of that perspective before.
The book Eternity in Their Hearts reveals many cultures in which missionaries discovered that very effect.
#280 exemplifies for me why Tissot is unmatched: the thought he invested in his biblical paintings, and the inspiration he opened himself to receive, are far beyond everyone else.
James Tissot and Rush Limbaugh were two of a kind: talent on loan from God.
There is a bible passage or verse, OT? I forget where at the moment, that alludes to the idea as well.
Something to the effect that when a ‘heathen or pagan or Gentile’ does what is good, and righteous, that it is a mark in their favor..........
Paul had it right. If I read it correctly.
Just because you are a member of a society that calls itself Judeo-Christian does not make you righteous in the sight of God. If you claim that as your refuge, you will be judged by that metric.
If you are of a non-Judeo Christian ethnic group, and you do not know the Law, you will be judged by your actions and what is in your heart and mind........
Well said. We are saved by grace, through faith—regardless of affiliation.
Good Mourning Dan...
Are you mourning?

Hello Dan,
Painful to see what our Lord was willing to endure; He knew how He would suffer, but He was willing...
Thank You Dan!
By far, that was the most profound of all acts.
Tissot was brilliant
absolutely brilliant
