Philippe- The sacrifice of Isaac , Genesis 22:1-19
Would you sacrifice your child, if the Lord asked it of you? Without Him, your very existence is untenable? What happens when the first mover asks you, for what you consider the most cherished thing you have?

Rembrandt- Abraham and the three angels , Genesis 18:1-15
The destroying angels visit Abraham on their way to do their work in Sodom and Gomorrah. In this painting Abraham pleads that for the sake of the few righteous that even if 10 were found, the cities be spared; they were not, which suggests plenty. Are we headed there today; with good being projected as evil and evil as good?

Lacma- Samson and Delilah, Judges 16:1-31
I have always felt sorry for Samson. He was gifted but lacked foresight in his relationships; frankly he was simply unwise and bordering on foolish. The last fling was with Delilah, a beautiful woman but loyal to her people, the Philistines, against Samsons, The Israelites. They tricked him, robbed him of his strength and as a result led to suffering for his people. He got his revenge, but not after undue suffering for himself and the Israelites in general.

Ricci- Bathsheba, 2 Samuel 11:1-18
What is beautiful? but at what cost? I have always held a grudge against David, Israel's greatest King. He could have had any woman, yet he had to go as far as killing a man to acquire a married woman. I have no apologies to make, I detest the action. As for the man, well, he was generally a great man, but this is a blemish that only God can judge.

Teniers- Abrahams offering, Genesis 24:6-11
Is there an equal to Abraham in the bible? To be willing to sacrifice one's most precious possession, ones child. I suppose its an understanding that even our lives and those we consider ours are simply a gift from on high. There is nothing that is ours, we are simply custodians.
