Welcome to the Jesus Art Gallery.

Many describe themselves as believers, but they use a selection method to deal with their faith. From the treasury of Christian faith and tradition, they choose only what they consider convenient for themselves. They reject or ignore those truths of faith and commandments which they find too difficult or inconvenient in their life situation. These are so-called selective Catholics or Catholics who insist that “I am Catholic, but …”. They are supposed to be Catholics, but they lack consistency in defending their own lives, when one has to expose themselves to the opinions of the environment, when the principles of the commonly imposed ideology of political correctness are to be violated. Many average Catholics also ask themselves: why do I have to go to church on Sunday? Why Should I Go To Religion? Why should I wait until marriage? Why should I not lie, cheat or use violence? For many of these lukewarm Catholics, faith seems to be an overwhelming, unbearable burden. They often treat the church or parish as a kind of service point that turns out to be needed only in certain crisis moments of life. Religious practices, sacraments, and prayer are often treated as a kind of folklore, rather related to the past, which in principle cannot be taken very seriously. Finally, there are Catholics who take seriously the teaching of Christ and the Church, who want to be the salt of the earth, the light of the world and the city rising above the earth (Mt 5: 13-15). Who remember that “the victory we will gain over the world is our faith” (1 Jn 5: 4). Therefore, it is worth asking ourselves: what is faith in its essence and do we realize what faith is a treasure? In the pages of the Holy Scriptures we find a very interesting definition of the faith of St. Paweł: “Faith is a guarantee of those goods that we expect, a testimony of those realities that we do not see. It was thanks to her that the ancestors received their testimony. By faith we know that through the word of God the worlds were created so that what we see would not be visible from things. ”(Hebrews 11: 1-3) This means that faith is not only about the past but also about the future. A man who has no faith has no future, in front of him, at the end of his earthly existence, there is emptiness, nothingness. What does this mean for human life? Well, you live differently in the face of God, differently in the face of nothingness. Here the importance of faith becomes evident. In the book of Jeremiah we find a picture of man’s departure: “All flesh is like grass, and all its charm is like a flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the Lord’s wind blows on it. The nation is really grass. The grass withers, the flower withers, but the word of our God abides forever ”(Isa. 40: 6-8). Many nourished, indifferent Europeans, burdened with the abundance of goods in this world, live with the prospect of nothingness, contributing to the civilization of death. They think their temporal, earthly existence will last forever. Few people realize that the greatest gift God has given us is time. On the one hand, we live in a crazy whirlwind of events and matters, on the other hand, we are often bored and look for ways to “kill time”. Time, however, does not renew itself and sooner or later we will meet with its loss. What does our killing of time look like? Day after day, we try to play our role in the theater of life. We want to keep or multiply our property. We climb the ranks of the social hierarchy to satisfy or fall away from our ambitions. We try to get saturated with all pleasure, but still remain insatiable and bitter. “Neither the eye is satisfied with seeing, nor the ear can hear.” – Ecclesiastes 1: 8. Though our lips are full of wonderful words of love, good and bad, we fill ourselves up and comfort with flattery, but life brings us bitterness and disappointment. Meanwhile, the Church continues to convey Christ’s call to everyone: “Come to me, all who work and are heavy laden, and I will strengthen you.
