Thangka Project 3

Today we'll explore the third thangka from the Tibetan version of the Hope Project.  To recap, this project utilizes a series of four thangkas (Tibetan "poster" art) to walk oral learners from creation through the ascension.   On this thangka listeners are introduced to Jesus.  The stories on this thangka begin with the birth of Jesus.  Continuing on it deals with His baptism, temptation, ministry and the last supper.  The bottom two sections tell the story of Jesus' arrest, trial and crucifixion.  You'll notice that the curious nomad (from the previous thangkas) is in the crowd watching the crucifixion, seeing that the promises God made were being fulfilled.
