What a great idea; painting will never be the same again! The person who thought of this must be very smart! Which makes me wonder: What are smart people really like and can those of us that are not-so-gifted really understand them?
For that matter, lets take that thought a little farther and ask: Can we really understand God?
Consider this passage from the Bible...
Ephesians, Chapter 1 (WEB)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love, (emphasis added vss. 3,4) 5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved, 7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him 10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him. 11 We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will, 12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ. 13 In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
When I was 18, I thought I was smart- then I had kids and realized I wasn't. Now that I have grandchildren and a great grandchild, I fully understand that I am not all that bright!!!
Time has a way of showing you truth; eternity reveals God! True wisdom is God's wisdom, for the almighty thinks on a cosmic scale, beyond time and space, from the smallest molecules to the grandest concept of the universe!
How can a person understand a being capable of such things? Well, we can understand the Bible and gain some insight into God, but for me- show me Jesus!!! One good example is worth ten times ten thousand words. Jesus lived, died and lives again. Those who follow him have hope and all the blessings listed in the Ephesian passage.
Now, there is something really smart!!!!
