Are you waiting, are you ready?

Beyond the cross

Yesterday morning at our prayer meeting I kept seeing an image of Jesus on the cross and the despair of the people around him as their hopes were shattered by His death.  In the picture I could see people turning their backs on Jesus and walking away with hunched shoulders not knowing what to do next.  This image stayed with me for a significant part of the meeting and I couldn't seem to get passed it.  As I was praying about it towards the end of the meeting I felt Jesus was saying I didn't come to die but to be raised to life so that everyone can have eternal life.
I don't know about you but sometimes with all the situations we see around us and the difficulties we or those close to us face it can be difficult to see beyond the pain and the suffering.  My prayer for this holy week is that we will all be able to see beyond the cross and experience the life that Jesus died to bring.  We are not promised a life without suffering but we are promised eternal life and the support of Jesus if we put our trust in him.

Bridge to life

From the makers:
This is a poetic and visual representation of the Bridge to Life illustration of Salvation in Jesus Christ. I came up with the concept of illustrating it with graffiti. We had a great crew many of which added to the creative. Our team located very talented graffiti artists and a spoken word poet through myspace, and youtube.
