We went to church in Rylstone today, there was a infant baptism on so lots of extra people. Someone was already sitting in my usual seat so I had to choose a different pew so can show you a different window.
This one is of Jesus during the sermon on the mount, the associated passage of scripture is below.
Reflection:
Luke 12:27-31 New King James Version (NKJV)
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
That is a beautiful stained glass window. I love stone churches with stained glass windows, but nowadays, of course, they don't build churches like that any more. Well, not in Sydney. Maybe elsewhere in the country.
ReplyDeleteThese days stone churches are likely to be sold off to be converted into houses.
DeleteIt is beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy the light through the glass.
DeleteBeautiful windows Joan Elizabeth.. the view from a different spot can be rewarding sometimes 😉
ReplyDeleteYes a bit of change is as good as a holiday.
DeleteI've always thought colour comes out so richly in stainrd glass windows. This is a beautiful one.
ReplyDeleteThe colour amused me a bit. I really do doubt Jesus was dressed in purple during the sermon on the mount.
