holy week 3: rob pepper and the final week

Last year, UK artist Rob Pepper allowed us the use of some of his art in our Good Friday service.  His work still moves me deeply this time of year.  I originally saw these images in the Voice project, as part of the book “The Last Eyewitness”.  I highly recommend checking out the Voice if you are looking for a new reading of God’s Word.  For now, take in these pictures of Jesus in his last days that Rob drew entirely with his eyes closed (color added after)!   His unique approach to these works brings holy week alive for me in new ways….    -Craig

holy week 1: palms to cross

This week, we will be featuring a different post each day to capture the mood moving towards easter.  Where did Jesus go?  What did he say?  What did he do?  And what is the significance of these things to us here & now?  How can we remember well this Holy Week both the great sadness & greater joy?  Let’s join together each day this week, and find time to re-visit the story of Jesus’ last days on earth….

Today, consider the progression from palm sunday to the cross… How was Jesus so misunderstood?  Do we misinterpret his hope and message today?
