Hypocrisy
At that very hour some
Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill
you.” He said to them, “Go and tell that fox for me, ‘Listen, I am casting out
demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my
work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is
impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.’ Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!
How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her
brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you.
And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed
is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Luke
13:31-35

Jerusalem

Eastlake incorporates a number of
symbols which directly allude to Christ's prophecy. For example, the axe in the
tree foreshadows Jerusalem's fall, while the shepherd carrying a sheep
symbolises Christ as the good shepherd.

Emily and Chuck at Workship
last Sunday.
Elliot said he was
definitely out of his element as he
pinned edging strips on
baby blankets for Workship.
Bless his
heart!
Michael gave us a tour of
the latest exhibit at Foothills Art Center.

grimly posed as Grant Wood's
American Gothic figures
but they looked toooooooo grim
so I didn't include
it!!!

Mimi
Mimi is the wife of
Chuck, one of our former Alzheimer artists.
Just remember,
there's a right way and a wrong way
to do
everything and the wrong way
is to keep
trying to make everybody
else do it the
right way.

Brothers and sisters, join in
imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in
us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of
them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is
the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly
things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are
expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our
humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that
also enables him to make all things subject to himself.
Therefore, my
brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in
the Lord in this way, my beloved.
