ART NEST

Scene 1

I will attempt to visualize this scene from the Urantia Revelation.

3. PETER'S CONFESSION

  ^157:3.1 Early Tuesday morning Jesus and the twelve apostles left Magadan Park for Caesarea-Philippi, the capital of the Tetrarch Philip's domain. Caesarea-Philippi was situated in a region of wondrous beauty. It nestled in a charming valley between scenic hills where the Jordan poured forth from an underground cave. The heights of Mount Hermon were in full view to the north, while from the hills just to the south a magnificent view was had of the upper Jordan and the Sea of Galilee.

  ^157:3.2 Jesus had gone to Mount Hermon in his early experience with the affairs of the kingdom, and now that he was entering upon the final epoch of his work, he desired to return to this mount of trial and triumph, where he hoped the apostles might gain a new vision of their responsibilities and acquire new strength for the trying times just ahead. As they journeyed along the way, about the time of passing south of the Waters of Merom, the apostles fell to talking among themselves about their recent experiences in Phoenicia and elsewhere and to recounting how their message had been received, and how the different peoples regarded their Master.

  ^157:3.3 As they paused for lunch, Jesus suddenly confronted the twelve with the first question he had ever addressed to them concerning himself. He asked this surprising question, "Who do men say that I am?"

  ^157:3.4 Jesus had spent long months in training these apostles as to the nature and character of the kingdom of heaven, and he well knew the time had come when he must begin to teach them more about his own nature and his personal relationship to the kingdom. And now, as they were seated under the mulberry trees, the Master made ready to hold one of the most momentous sessions of his long association with the chosen apostles.

  ^157:3.5 More than half the apostles participated in answering Jesus' question. They told him that he was regarded as a prophet or as an extraordinary man by all who knew him; that even his enemies greatly feared him, accounting for his powers by the indictment that he was in league with the prince of devils. They told him that some in Judea and Samaria who had not met him personally believed he was John the Baptist risen from the dead. Peter explained that he had been, at sundry times and by various persons, compared with Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah. When Jesus had listened to this report, he drew himself upon his feet, and looking down upon the twelve sitting about him in a semicircle, with startling emphasis he pointed to them with a sweeping gesture of his hand and asked, "But who say you that I am?" There was a moment of tense silence. The twelve never took their eyes off the Master, and then Simon Peter, springing to his feet, exclaimed: "You are the Deliverer, the Son of the living God." And the eleven sitting apostles arose to their feet with one accord, thereby indicating that Peter had spoken for all of them.

  ^157:3.6 When Jesus had beckoned them again to be seated, and while still standing before them, he said: "This has been revealed to you by my Father. The hour has come when you should know the truth about me. But for the time being I charge you that you tell this to no man. Let us go hence."

  ^157:3.7 And so they resumed their journey to Caesarea-Philippi, arriving late that evening and stopping at the home of Celsus, who was expecting them. The apostles slept little that night; they seemed to sense that a great event in their lives and in the work of the kingdom had transpired.

Scene 2

I will attempt to visualize what Joshua Ben Joseph (Jesus) really looked like and create a portrait of him.

Using all of the descriptive pages of his character in the Urantia Revelations.  If you know of sections in the revelation that help you visualize Jesus please leave the links in the comment section. You too can add to the success of visualizing him as he really was.

Scene 3

Leave a link in the comment section of one of the scenes of Jesus life that most capture your imagination of what it must have been like to be there.

 Izzy Danielz's Artwork

Hello,

My name is Daniel Izzy. It's been over 7 years now since i started growing in the field of Art. I started by realistic portraits in pencil, pen and coloured pencils for friends, family plus people around me. As the desire for Art grew in me, i went on with making commission jobs for people to target market and a few people came and saw  it that i could get something  out of my work and i realized that nothing exists without Art; and that if the world needs Art, the people in it will need me.

My profession explores visual arts in both the tradition and modern arts of drawings, painting and African crafty works. The type of visual arts and media we use has carved out a creative niche in drawing realistic and hyper realistic works in painting both abstract and realistic art work, with the techniques we use, good at using media like ink from ball point pens, oil based and acrylics or canvas, water colour, charcoal pencils, oil pastels on card and found objects like buttons and bottle caps when doing the modern art,  clothes or traditional materials to execute our work.

We have created this store, Art Nest, to showcase the many talents of local artists in Uganda. We will select high quality artwork from shops in many markets and many towns in Uganda, to provide the artists a chance to sell their work to the public, who otherwise would not have an opportunity to visit their shop in Uganda. Much artwork is on display everyday that no one else in world can see. At Art Nest, we strive to showcase the work and provide it to you for purchase. If you should purchase an item, all shipping costs will be included in the price. Shipping can take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on where you are in the world.

The world needs Art because Art could be competitive in nature and essential to society. In life, people need innovative and creative ideas to express our feelings to approach others with much understanding and I want to use Art just like music,

to make life extremely joyful to bring about effect on our mood through the expression of my feelings with others that it begins.
