Classic Jack Hamm Cartoon: God Chose His Son As Envoy

 

This Jack Hamm Panel depicts the illuminated Christ shining his light and the word upon the Earth. The scripture used is the first half of a Phillips Translation from II Peter 1:4.

The King James Version of the full verse reads: 

“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”

Today this can mean that in the divine nature of Jesus we have powers to not be enslaved or led by the false narratives and lies or other things that would try to snare our flesh.

Classic Jack Hamm Comic - Divine Blueprint

Divene** Blueprint [Divine Blueprint] By Jack Hamm. From the Patterson NJ News, July 24, 1954.

This Jack Hamm comic depicts a young woman looking over a blueprint or a rolled out plan of her life with reference to Romans 8:28 which reads:

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose".

A translated summary etched over the paper roll says: "A definite life's plan for each individual who submits himself to God". 

**It is not know is the spelling of "Divene" was only in the Patterson News printing or if it was an error in all syndicated versions of this panel

Classic Jack Hamm Comic - Significant Peace Conference

"Significant Peace Conference" By Jack Hamm. Patterson, NJ News, January 16, 1954

This panel was published at a time of a very young United Nations and many talks of peace conferences. Hamm's illustration is a reminder that peace can begin with prayer and on our knees. While no direct scripture is printed with this comic panel, the "Family Altar" is embodied by these scriptures:

Joshua 24:15 - And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." 

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 - And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Genesis 18:19 - For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

Classic Jack Hamm Comic - Resting In the Hollow Of His Hand

 

"Resting In The Hollow Of His Hand" By Jack Hamm.
Image from the Kansas City Star, November 05, 1956.

It has been a few years since I last posted a Jack Hamm comic panel. It is long overdue and God willing I will be posting many more of them in the near future. 

The scripture references is Psalm 4:8 "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety." (KJV). 

The image of woman at rest serenely in the palm of God is strong reminder of Jack Hamm's master of human anatomy. Many still learn his techniques in his books to this day.
