Pain and Sorrow and there Effect Under Christ
[Picture credits at the end.]
Sometimes, we only learn of His care through the times of trauma and pain. I don’t know why this is I just know that it is. It is not a story of which Christians down through the ages have been unaware. C.S. Lewis put it this way:

“The subject matter of Haida argillite carvings has passed through a number of different phases from its inception as a traditional sculpture medium in the early 19th century… By the 1830s, interest had developed in the production of small statuettes of officers, sailors, and occasionally women, standing in their dress attire, often highly detailed in the depiction of the garments, hats, hair and/or beard styles, and the personalities of these strangers from worlds away…Many of these naturalist figures appear very formal: captains in long coats, with a serious look on their faces and hands in their pockets. Others are more humorous or whimsical in nature… The usual attention has been paid by the carver to the oddities (from a Haida perspective) of the sailors’ clothes and dressing style, depicting shoes, collars, cuffs, shirt or vest patterns, scarves, and hats. The men’s hair is wavy and long, flowing from cap to collar in 1840s style, and their fair-skinned faces have been detailed in small ivory pieces set in place below their hat brims. The facial expressions are curious, conveying a real personality… Their posture and whimsical body language add to the magnetic quality…” — (From the Catalog of the Thaw Collection of American Indian Art, 2nd ed.)
