The Gospel of John and the Art of Sally Beck- Part 5

 


John 9:30

He opened my eyes!!
In this story Jesus meets a man who was born blind.
 He spits on the ground to make mud with saliva,
puts it on the man's eyes 
and tells him to wash in the Pool of Siloam.
After the man obeys, he can see for the first time.
An amazing miracle.


John 4:14
The Water That I Will Give

Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well.
They have a conversation that would have been 
"not normal" in this Jewish world.
Jesus teaches that the deepest spiritual longings
 are satisfied only by Him. 
He brings eternal life and the indwelling 
of the Holy Spirit that meets all
 the longings of "belonging."



John 13:35

Your Strong Love for Each Other Will Show

 to the World that You are my Disciples.

This is from the Last Supper when Jesus 

washes the feet of the disciples

 and gives them the New Commandment.


This is from the wedding in Cana 
when Jesus performed His first miracle.
It would all be different now-
 as He began His "public ministry."

These are artist Sally Beck images in a journal that

I have been working in for awhile.

I have added some mixed media things 

and enjoy the slow down time 

thinking about these stories.

Some time to sit and imagine the settings and the people 

and sit in wonder and awe of Jesus 

working in the Kingdom.
