The continuing story of Jesus, as seen through my paintings, continues this Wednesday night at Silverdale Lutheran Church (6:45 p.m.).

"The Alabaster Jar"
MATTHEW 26:6-13 The Anointing at Bethany.

The Gospel of Matthew, along with John and Mark, connects the Anointing of Jesus at Bethany with true discipleship and the foretelling of Jesus' death. John's Gospel puts a name to the woman who anointed Jesus helping me to imagine the hands of "Mary" anointing the feet of Jesus.

I was inspired by the incredible love Mary had for Jesus and I imagined how she would have cared for the alabaster jar until she sacrificed its contents in a true act of discipleship. This willingness of Mary to sacrifice "treasure" for the sake of love caused me to think about what I have and how willing I would be to sacrifice something of value for someone I profess to love.

As I journeyed towards the completion of this painting I thought about my willingness to demonstrate the kind of sacrifice Mary made even in the face of ridicule. I thought about the courage it takes to openly show this kind of love.

The Alabaster Jar is lying on the floor because all of Mary's attention is now on her Lord.

"Become Like Children" Matthew 18:1-9 True Greatness. The free spirit of children and the joy that seems to come to them so easily is what I wanted to capture in this painting. Jesus' answer to the disciples question of "who is the greatest" moved me to recall moments of pure joy that I enjoyed when my children were as young as those I am placing in this painting.

The thought of holding on to my own child-like spirit warmed me as I contemplated my responsibility to treat those new to the teachings of Jesus as though they too are full of wonder, dependence, and humility.

In this painting I included a gathering of "stones" on the left side of the composition as a reminder of Jesus' warning about placing stumbling blocks before children or those new to the faith. The"round stone" is done to remind me not to suffer the fate of drowning with a mill stone around my neck.
