Glimpses of Jesus 41

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Today's post is about the prophecy in Isaiah 61 which Jesus reads out at the beginning of his ministry (Luke 4).

I love this passageand so I decided I would print it out and put it into my journal.  I was thinking of doing fancy things with it on the computer but then decided to keep it simple.  I took a photograph of the oak tree in my next door neighbour's garden and put the Bible verses over the top using Publisher.

Do have a look back through the posts on the Glimpses of Jesus blog where you will find links to other people's art and poetry.

It seemed a very long walk to me!

This week Roger and I went for a walk - we haven't been for a walk together for ages.  This one according to the book was 4.5 miles however it seemed a lot longer than that to me.

I decided to take photos of light and shadows as well as the usual landscape photos I take.  The walk was around Cleeve Hill in Worcestershire.

The first part of our walk was to a lovely pub for lunch.  You can see the River Avon in the background.

At the end of the walk was this amazing Tithe Barn which may have been built in 1250AD.

 It was a lovely walk, a great pub lunch and a fabulous day.

Glimpses of Jesus 40

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Today's post is about The Servant and sin in Isaiah 52:13-53:12.

You may remember my page from last week which had by the side of it this page.

Which I then scraped the left over green paint onto.

I wanted to keep the chaotic pattern behind the green paint and decided I would stencil over it with a dark ink.  I used a Stazon ink which actually coloured the stencil more than the page.

However it made enough of an impression to add to the darkness and the chaos to represent sin.

I stamped a border around the edge of the page.  It's actually supposed to be a tinsel stamp but it reminds me of the crown of thorns.

I printed out a couple of the verses from the passage and stuck them on the page.  I highlighted some of the circles with a red pen.
