1. Liz Lemon Swindle I Know Thee Not $695.00
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 25:13
In the parable of the Ten Virgins, the Lord compares His Second Coming to a wedding feast. Ten virgins were invited to wait for the arrival of the newly married couple and guests. Knowing that the wait might stretch into the night, each virgin brought a lamp, but only five brought extra oil.
When the wait stretched longer than anticipated, five virgins ran out of oil. While they were gone in search of more, the Savior came with his guests and went into the feast. When the five returned and found the door shut they called to the Lord to open it. Swift came His reply,“I know thee not.”
“Can you imagine the moment when they realized that they would not be admitted?” artist Liz Lemon Swindle asks. “Only half were ready for His coming.Which half are we in? Will we be welcomed, or will we remain outside with His words ringing in our ears, I know thee not.’”
2. Liz Lemon Swindle HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN $595.00
Liz Lemon-Swindle portrays a Saint John's story about the divine attribute of forgiveness. Knowing that Jesus took pity on sinners, The Scribes and Pharisees tried to catch him condoning disobedience to the Law. They brought before him a woman taken in adultery and said, Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? Jesus stooped down, writing on the ground with his finger, as though he had not heard them. When they continued asking, he said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And he continued writing on the ground. Convicted by their own conscience, they left one by one. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
3. Liz Lemon Swindle THE LAMB OF GOD $595.00
As the artist explains, “There is a long period in Jesus’ lifeafter he taught in the temple at age twelve and before he declared his ministrythat remains unknown. We can assume that as a Jew, Jesus would have taken part in the centuries-old Passover ritual. At twelve he would have been considered a member of the community and expected to make the Passover pilgrimage from Nazareth to Jerusalem. I have portrayed the young Jesus with a sacrificial (paschal) lambsymbolic of Christ himself, first-born and unblemishedto represent Christ’s sinless sacrifice.” Published from the artist’s original oil painting.

5. Liz Lemon Swindle Young Messiah $395.00
"I remember after the birth of my first child when everyone had left and I was alone with my son for the first time. I looked at him lying on the bed and realized I was responsible for this new life. How could I teach him everything he needed? I was terrified. I held him close and the two of us cried. Those were tears of fear and tears of joy, but most of all they were tears of love. Looking into his little face, I made a promise to God that I have spent my life trying to keep." Was it different for Mary on that night in Bethlehem? Although her calling was unlike any other, as a first-time mother she must have felt the emotions that come with having a child. I imagine she too looked to heaven for answers and assurances and like every mother cried tears of fear, tears of joy and tears of love.

6. Liz Lemon Swindle The Lord's Prayer $195.00
Lord, Teach us to pray "� a simple request answered with the most recognized and spoken prayer in Christendom. While it may be recited with subtle differences around the world, the heart of the lesson remains the same: the object of this prayer and prayer in general, is not to change the will of God, but to open our hearts to seek for ourselves and others blessings that God is already willing to grant.
7. Liz Lemon Swindle Mother $595.00
Artist Liz Lemon Swindle captures a simple gesture between mother and son in this intimate portrait of Jesus and Mary. "I created this painting because I find great joy in exploring the relationships between our Savior and the people he knew and loved," says Liz. "This wonderfully tender piece captures the great respect he had for his mother. In Aramaic, his spoken language, he would have called her 'inta' (woman) however the title Mother connects the painting more to our modern culture and language." The painting "Be It Unto Me," first in the "Son of Man" series, captured the essence of the relationship between the young mother and her newborn child. Traveling full-circle, the adult Jesus now holds his mother in his warm embrace. Even as he was dying, one of his last thoughts was for his mother's care directing her to John the Beloved with the words "Behold thy son."
8. Liz Lemon Swindle WHY WEEPEST THOU? $650.00
Mary Magdalene wept bitter tears at the empty sepulchre for the crucified Jesus was not within. On that celebrated Easter morning, the query "Woman, why weepest thou?" and Mary's affirmative answer, "Master" rekindled hope for "He lives!"
