Description
A few years ago I was at a very low-point in my life (has anyone ever noticed that the life of an artist is filled with so many extremes? Great times where the world is filled with so much awe, and times where the world is the devils playground and we are constantly defeated?) and it was nearing "christmas"... I had nothing in my house that even resembled Channukah or Christmas... so I drew a picture of Yeshua praying in the garden...His face is extremely anguished, because I figure if anyone is to know of there own impending death that they would be filled with anguish. Either way...pencil on paper...very crude.Related content

Shalom to you also, and thanks, I am glad you like it!!! As far as religions go...lol...I guess I am more of a spiritualist then anything...I grew up going through foster homes and so on and so forth...I was raised 'Christian', but never felt it to be true. As I got older I studied various religions to find my place...I even studied theology. HaShem opened my eyes and called me back towards the light...I identify VERY strongly with my blood (Chassidic Jews). but not with any religions (although I did...I was a Chassidic Jew in the very traditional sense for about 2 years...somewhere along the way, my eyes were open for what they should be...to enjoy and love this life.) I feel that religion is not the most important thing, nor even is the belief in Moshiac or G-d...its all about humbling ones self...that is the most important thing...but feel free to e-mail me if you want to discuss out mentality any further : ) Peace.

i am a born again christian and your words sadden me because i hold a firm belief that if someone is ever a christian and the holy spirit convicts them then they won't ever be able to leave Christ. so since you say you are Jewish does that mean that you don't believe in Jesus as he messiah or do you mean tat you are Orthodox in the sense that you observe the Jewish customs and believe in Jesus as your savior or by that do you mean something else
i also believe that religion won't get you to heaven a personal relationship with Christ does

This is convicting... you know why? I have been filling my mind with pointless trash lately that I lost sight of God's true purpose for my art. Thank you for reminding me...
If you add the Holy One into art, it raises a higher dimension of POWER. It can break strongholds.

I think I had the same kind of, let's say, depression during Christmas 2005. I'm just curious - are you religious?
Nonetheless, this drawing makes my day.

Shalom, I am extremely spiritual and I tried to blend the religious world with the art world, but I have found it incredably hard to do so...I live a very orthodox life as far as what I observe and believe, but I also have many ideas about HaShem, soul, Torah, Bible, etc...that do not go well with the politics of religion. I hope you understand my answer, if not, please get back to me. In either case...I am extremely happy that this drawing made your day! Namaste.

Today it's a lot harder to meet a true orthodox, it's especially easy to observe among Christians. Poland is said to be the most Catholic country in Europe after Vatican, but I think we're descending right to the level of, let's say, France, where churches are nearly empty (I was there, I saw). That's even worse when we think of the matter of religion in our lives, how much good can it give and how it can change people to better... And I think today's art isn't as easy to combine with religion as in the Ancient times, the Middle Ages and further on to Baroque. The perfection for me is the Gothic style.
And using that quite side road I've met what I wanted to say - that you perfectly showed the emotions, it gave me quite a spiritual boost, as I consider myself a very religious person, especially when compared to my classmates. Again - thanks for uploading this drawing.

I am glad that it uplifted you. I think that it is extremely important to utilize the gifts that G-d has given us both as ventation for the negative that will grip us, but as well as for rejoicing. Shalom.
