Fine Arts Museum: Josh Taylor

What to say about the Fine Arts Museum....How about AMAZING? The museum made me appreciate my religion far more than I ever have before. When we arrived at the museum, like always I was expecting something boring. Well, my view on that was completely changed immediately! I went into a deep culture shock because of the fact that I have never seen actual paintings of Lord Jesus before. I couldn't believe that someone so historically huge could be painted so visually. The paintings really told a story.
 The story that I got from them is that Jesus went through so much pain and agony just so that we as people may live a better life after death. May he forgive our sins and lead us to everlasting life. This was definitely an enormous blast of a spiritual journey for me.
 These beautiful paintings really took me by surprise!The Last Supper being put into perspective is crazy. It goes to show that everyone has a different outlook on things. The three little angels above the table are calling Jesus back to his kingdom of Heaven. They are telling him that the supper they are enjoying, will none the less be the last. So "take the bread" and "take the wine" because it is now Jesus' time. Everyone at the table has a grand purpose in life and whether its good or bad they must fulfill it.
I like this picture A LOT! I like how it shows that Jesus and God are the almighty beings and that us mortal humans are sheep while they are shepherds. God put every individual on Earth to serve a sole purpose. Those who disobey shall be punished. Sounds like normal day society right? When I came across all of these pictures in the gallery, I took a moment, stopped, and starred. The reason for that was because I have been raised and taught that God is important, but just like every other human being on Earth, I had a right to be skeptical. It wasn't until this moment that my personal skepticism was freed and I became at peace with myself.
