Beloved Jesus (5)

[sweetMelody]

here's my latest painting...

I thought of Robin when she said she was like the nail that was driven into Jesus' hand and therefore became united to him in his sufferings. I would like to be like this angel who was there to strengthen and comfort him in the garden of gethsemane. I want to be sensitive to him, able to hear his softest whisper, know when his eyes are about to overflow with tears.

​

Luke 22:43And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.​

wow.. that is a really good painting, and it shows all the emotions. very nice, thanks for sharing.

Thanks AmyLisa and sweet melody.

here's something to really ponder, The scripture in luke says that there appeared to him an angel from heaven strengthening him. put yourself in the angels place. what would you do to strengthen Jesus? What would you say to encourage him? the verse goes on to say that being in agony he prayed all the more earnestly and his sweat became like great drops of blood. I know this takes a lot of thought but I think questions like this help us to think about Jesus more.

The angel most likely gave of its strength.. to the heart and compassion of JESUS.. comfort of its presence.. reminder of the glory in heaven awaiting the children of GOD.. whispering hope through the promises of GOD to JESUS.. because the disciples couldn't see what HE was suffering and the sins separated JESUS from probably sensing GOD as fully.. ... the angel probably just reminded JESUS of GODS love for HIM too.. Lovely to ponder.. your art is anointed.. powerful.. full of grace and mercy..

I would tell my Jesus that I love Him and that I would be by His side forever to comfort Him and share His sorrow. How His Heart must have broken for us! TheOne who wipes our tears away was drowning in sorrows for us! I would so dearly want to stick close to Him and to be with Him saying, Lord, I love You and I'm here for You- just like dearest friends and loved ones do.

-Love-

Last night I called for God's mercy

and He touched my heart

He showed me a world without

disease and destruction

without hatred and fear

with only health

and light and love.

The world in my mind

was the light of our Lord's Kingdom.

And my heart burned for Him.

I cried out to my Jesus "I'm burning, I'm burning."

I burned with love and longing for Him

and yearned for His coming

to deliver me

to deliver us all

O Lord I need You

the world needs You

Come Lord Jesus!!

We adore You!!

This is too beautiful. what I sweet thought to know the angel brought that type of comfort to Jesus. I would add that perhaps the angel said, "many will reject you o great Son of God but remember your Father has promised you a Bride of millions who will love you in return. many may tell you that you are ugly, a thing to be despised but all of heaven knows you are the msot beautiful, the fairest of ten thousand!"

Why do you suppose Jesus sweat blood after the angel came? he was in agony and prayed more earnestly.

btw...thanks for your comment about my art.

Marvelous question and responses. I also was thinking about the promised Bride. The very question reminded me that I have envisioned Jesus seeing this Woman as some kind of vision at various times during his life. This might be a good time for that to happen; the angel might actually resemble the Bride or represent Her. Some people say that all angels are male, but I don't know. They might be able to appear in either male or female form. They can appear in any form that is appropriate to their current mission, I suspect.

Hi Amy!
Thank you for sending me an email alerting me to the new art you posted! As usual, your art is breathtaking. What I feel over your art work is Yeshua's Spirit within me responding. It's lovey beyond words.
I feel blessed every time I see the art work He's inspires you to create.

I know I've been absent for a while. I just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone and that I will try to get on more frequently. Life has been one thing after another lately.

One thing that never changes is the intimate, romantic love that my Bridegroom and I share.

For Jesus...

​

 

[kisstheson]

hey...my play/drama is tonight. We took pictures at the dress rehearsal. I'll post some as soon as I can.

say a prayer for our production if you think about it. pray that Jesus will be portrayed beautifully and others will be drawn to him.

KTS, what does it mean "if you were the angel what would you say to Jesus" ? on your siggy? I can't quite understand what that means

 

[kisstheson]

here's what I asked a few pages back. This is what we are discussing...

"here's something to really ponder, The scripture in luke says that there appeared to him an angel from heaven strengthening him. put yourself in the angels place. what would you do to strengthen Jesus? What would you say to strengthen him? the verse goes on to say that being in agony he prayed all the more earnestly and his sweat became like great drops of blood. I know this takes a lot of thought but I think questions like this help us to think about Jesus more.'

my painting is based on the scripture found in Luke 22:43-44

If you would like go back a page or so and read what others thought. Very interesting.

Angels bring healing and strength the angel would bring this to Jesus at this difficult moment, also while Jesus was in the wilderness Mark1:13 we find the angels ministered to Jesus. I believe when the angels spoke to Jesus they would honor Him and encourage Him,
Strengthening him.

Amy, I think it was because He knew the agony of total separation from His Father that was before Him in that moment when He took upon Himself the sins of the whole world, the agony was not so much physical agony, but imagine the mental anguish and pain in his inner man and spirit he was feeling at this point of time, as He knew the bitter cup He must take.

 

[peacechild4]

Maybe JESUS sweating blood could also be the great love of the FATHER who is SPIRIT wrestling with the flesh which was weak.. the blood was looking for the cross to death to come quick so there was life for HIS children.. Blood is life and represents the love of GOD for it we were saved and overcome the enemy.. as every drop bled out.. it was life and the love of GOD seperated.. it caused death.. But praise the LORD that blood paid and brought life and not just life but eternal life for all mankind.. No wonder JESUS cried out.. as HIS drop of last pure blood was draining out.. into GODS hand HE committed HIS SPIRIT..
