The Onlookers ~ Passive Spectators
24.5” x 30.5” ~ Original Acrylic Painting, Matted, Framed and Ready to Hang.
What it seems to be is not always what it is. For what is knowing without really understanding? And…What is seeing without believing? This painting called the Onlookers ~ Passive Spectators reminds me of this scripture taken from the book of John regarding seeing and believing.
John 20:24-29, “Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Amen
