I like how that in your pictures you never show Jesus's face

The dynamic angle on this is so great, coupled with the lighting. I love not only the thick stylized lines but also the focus on the blind man with Jesus' hands in the foreground. God loves and knows us that He may be glorified, but His eyes are ever on us, and He is ever concerned for His children... Amazing work.

I love the contrast of the asking of alms by the blind man vs the preparation for giving by Jesus as he makes the mud from his spittle. Great job as usual!

thank you for your powerful illustrations and the way that you share the scripture.... I always enjoy your work and am thankful to have found it.
would you mind telling me how this passion grew in you? my faith feels so... plastic and yet this is life. You can note me if that is what you prefer, it's a rather personal question but I struggle with really believing Christ can be my everything, especially around valentines day and EVERYTHING reminds me of how lonely I feel.

Good question. Tough though.
I grew up in a Christian home, and through repentance and faith gave my life to Christ at a young age. It was in college that I really began to question what I believe, why I believe it and how to stand on it. I studied Christian apologetics and at that time I realized that if Christ is real and the Bible is true (which has been proven to me over and over), then I need to take this all seriously and live completely for Him. He gave His life for me, He still lives and wants to show His love to me forever. And that means everything. It's not a feeling, or something mystical, but it is what I know.
A few years later I came across the Way of the Master ministries. And what I learned from them became another huge influence on how seriously I lived for Christ. Check 'em out:
[link]
I love Him, His Word and want to do His will. God gave me some talents and they are to be developed and used for Him. Ephesians 2:10 reads,"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."
Illustrating God's Word is a good work. As well as a great many other things: loving my neighbor as myself, giving up my life for my wife, being the best dad possible, sharing the gospel, etc. But all of this starts with Himβjust seeking Him. I find my life, worth and hope only in Him. Whether alone or not.
In Acts 17 Paul, when teaching the Athenians, said:
"From one man [God] made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being."
You are living where you are, at this time in history, with the circumstances you are experiencing in your life, so that you might reach out for Him. He is not far from you. And He is really all you need. Reach for Him with your heart. Reach out to Him in prayer. Reach out to Him in His Word, the Bible. He will reward you if you diligently seek Him (Heb. 10:6).
God Bless

thank you for your reply.... my struggle has been letting Him be my everything in a season where couples and love are the big topic/theme and I feel empty, rejected and isolated and yet guilty for this because....God is so much BIGGER than this hole in my heart... I'm keeping your reply so that I can re-read and truly appreciate it...still processing things but I am grateful for the fact that you replied..... it's helping, this is a major barrier with me. my loneliness around people I mean....or, without them I guess. It sounds so petty but the rejection over the past several years and the isolation, loneliness and bitterness have become this horrible stone that I attempt in all futility to DRAG with me thinking if I chip away at it long enough, it will be something beautiful underneath.
Thanks again... I may write a better reply when I am ready.

I love the moment you picked in this! Not the actual healing, but the moment before, and the depth that it brings out of the special attention in that moment. Excellent work, as always!

I love that you only featured Jesus' hands. These hands are not the hands of someone afraid to touch the broken and the outcast. He helps those who have no idea what they truly need.
I find it interesting that you have found yourself one very persistent hater. And although I feel like that kind of thing should not be tolerated, I found myself thinking that this is no coincidence indeed.
It's interesting because it is a demonstration of the blindness that is prevalent in today's world. There are far too many who cannot see Christ for
Who he is.
Only Christ can open our eyes. I pray that whoever this person is - hiding behind angry words on a screen - will encounter Christ one day
