Christ’s Holiness, Christ’s Humanity
(continued)
 
In this post-Christian world (so they say), I would like to share with you the paintings of a Russian Artist named Alexander Lepetuhin, who, upon being told by doctors he had only perhaps four years left to live, devoted his energies into his Faith.

“Fine, I decided. Then all that time I will spend drawing Christ and his apostles.”

Thus was born the Cycle of some 1000 Paintings of the Life of Christ and the Apostles.

5. The Road to Emmaus:

Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was [e]seven miles from Jerusalem. And they talked together of all these things which had happened.  So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.  But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.
And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you [f]walk and are sad?”
Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?”
And He said to them, “What things?”
(Luke 24:13-19)
