Forasmuch Then As The Children Are Partakers Of Flesh And Blood, He Also Himself Likewise Took Part Of The Same; That Through Art

“Then the all-glorious, all-powerful, and true God, displayed his holy countenance, and opened the gates of heaven, from which two angels, dreadful of form, came down and were visible to all but the Jews.” (3 Maccabees 6:18, Brenton)
“And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods. But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?” (2 Chronicles 2:3-6, KJV)
Express without words “Then said he unto the king, Remember thy vow, which thou hast vowed to build Jerusalem, in the day when thou camest to thy kingdom, And to send away all the vessels that were taken away out of Jerusalem, which Cyrus set apart, when he vowed to destroy Babylon, and to send them again thither.” (1 Esdras 4:43-44, KJVA)
“The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.” (John 6:41, KJV) Do not put bread in the picture but rather the setting is Jesus teaching in synagogue in Capernaum with the people looking disgruntled, some whispering to eat other and perhaps someone standing and speaking out to Jesus.
“Then the all-glorious, all-powerful, and true God, displayed his holy countenance, and opened the gates of heaven, from which two angels, dreadful of form, came down and were visible to all but the Jews.” (3 Maccabees 6:18, Brenton)
“And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.” (Jonah 4:8, KJV)
So, you look at those captains and then at yourself and you wonder: “Why them, and not me?” As you paddle along in your pitiful state, a canoe you hope no one will see. But there’s just enough room for those trusted to you for safe passage, provisions, and tare. So, you keep to yourself, and you follow the shore, making passage for those in your care.

“That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:2-5, KJV)

A serene and majestic watercolor painting, capturing the essence of a grand, towering evergreen tree (like the dominant one in the provided image) standing proudly in a sun-dappled, open forest glade. The tree's deep green needles are rendered with varying washes, showcasing its immense height and full, tiered branches that reach towards a partly cloudy, bright blue sky. Around the base of this glorious tree, two or three graceful mule deer are depicted. One might be grazing peacefully, another looking up towards the viewer with its large, expressive ears, and a fawn possibly tucked nearby. Their coats are rendered in soft, earthy watercolor tones of grey-brown, with delicate highlights and shading to suggest their gentle forms and distinctive white rumps and tails. The surrounding landscape features a subtle ground cover of dry grasses and scattered undergrowth, characteristic of a high-desert or mountain forest floor, painted with soft, blended washes of ochre, sage green, and light brown. The sky above is a classic watercolor blend of soft blues and wispy white clouds. The overall mood is one of tranquil natural beauty, quiet majesty, and a harmonious coexistence of wildlife and ancient trees, rendered with the flowing, luminous quality of watercolor art."

Classical Wildlife Illustration Style, Rich Textures, Warm Golden Hour Lighting. An intimate, detailed look at a dramatic rescue on a sun-dappled forest floor. The Trapped Giant (The Lion): A massive, powerful male lion with a thick mane is hopelessly tangled in a complex hunter’s net made of thick, coarse hemp ropes. He is lying on his side, exhausted and defeated, his immense paws bound. His expression is one of surprising gentleness and relief as he looks down. The Tiny Hero (The Mouse): The focal point is a tiny field mouse, rendered with exquisite detail, perched precariously on a thick knot of rope right next to the lion's massive face. The mouse is busily gnawing through a crucial strand of the thick netting with its sharp teeth. Shavings of hemp rope are visible. The Atmosphere: Warm, late afternoon sunlight filters through the tree canopy, creating patches of bright light that highlight the dusty texture of the ropes, the individual hairs on the mouse, and the deep golden fur of the lion. The immense scale difference between the lion’s head and the mouse’s entire body is central to the composition.
A profound and epic scene depicting the Vision of the Dry Bones from Ezekiel 37. In a desolate, vast valley, countless dry human bones are scattered, stark white and ancient. A powerful, divine wind (ruach) swirls through the valley, imbued with a sacred, ethereal glow, causing the bones to rattle and miraculously knit together. Tendons, flesh, and skin rapidly form over the skeletal structures, transforming them into fully-formed human figures. As the divine breath enters, the figures rise, not as individuals, but as a colossal, awe-inspiring army standing upright, gazing forward with renewed life and purpose. The sky above is dramatic, perhaps with stormy clouds breaking to reveal a divine light. The overall mood is one of miraculous resurrection, immense power, and hopeful restoration."

“If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days..” (Deuteronomy 22:28-29, KJV)

In Penang, Malaysia. Wing Sun's Grandmother is elderly and lives in Penang, on the island. Grandma's house is in a quieter part of the island, closer to the coastline where the sea breeze can be felt through the wooden windows. It's near the ocean, in Tanjung Bungah where there are old-style homes and a slower pace of life. There are many resort "homestay" hotels, and also some high-rise condos, but Grandmother's house has been there many years. Wing-Sun's mother grew up in that house, near the beach, with the ocean breeze. We see the house from down the street with Grandma standing in the doorway greeting us.
