As I was reading through the story of the triumphant entry, I had this picture of the aftermath in my mind. I realised that Jesus’ welcome was short lived and soon the crowds would turn on him. If I was one of the disciples, I would probably be feeling relief at the sight of the crowds shouting hosanna! However Jesus knew what was to come and I doubt that he was lulled into a false sense of security like I would have been.My painting attempts to capture that space in-between Jesus’ welcome and Jesus’ death, and highlight the fickleness of us humans. It is in a sense, a foreboding of what was to come, even those closest to Jesus deserted him at his darkest moment.

This conversation awaits your contribution.
We have set this website up to share the resources from the book ‘The Illustrated Gospel Project’,
plus the extra stuff that we couldn’t fit in the book.
But there is still room! Room for what you and your community of faith might create in response to God’s creative Word at work, and at play in your midst.
So if you create a drama, a song, a prayer or a responsive reading, we’d like you to share it.
