LIVE ART!! 3.31.24 @hopewdm 5pm Easter Service!
The artist couldn’t make it to paint for the last service so with 40 mins notice to prepare I jumped for Jesus!!! This is in honor of my faithful mother Pat Jacobs @pj713 who loves Jesus with all her heart. Even as I started painting the woman became purple my moms favorite color. And she wanted to be remembered by butterflies.
I’m in awe of God and how he can make a way so spontaneously. That was the shortest notice I’ve ever had to paint live for worship. What a gift to have that opportunity to be completely inspired and obedient in the moment on the day that our Lord and Savior was raised from the dead.
Your name is power and healing! I’ll praise you anywhere and everywhere!
In the painting the woman represents the freedom, healing and power of renewing our minds with God’s word.
”Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.“
Romans 12:2 NIV
The sermon was based on the verses in John 20:1-8:
The Resurrection
20 Early on Sunday morning,[a] while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. 2 She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
3 Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. 4 They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He stooped and looked in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t go in. 6 Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, 7 while the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was folded up and lying apart from the other wrappings. 8 Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed.

I recorded a time lapse video to watch now “Completion”
Jesus, a human being in every sense of the word. And He died for you and me! That makes me want to live my life in a way that makes His death worth it. He left a trail for us to follow, a path that leads to a peace that passes all understanding. There are signs everywhere and the Holy Spirit is most certainly present.
I was hoping to paint this live at Hope + Elim for Good Friday 2020. But services were cancelled due to covid-19. I was inspired to paint this outside as the sun was setting hoping to get the effect of the sky darkening just like the day Jesus was on the cross. Being outside while the sun was setting painting the path to the cross made me really think about the pain and suffering Jesus went through. I imagined being there and seeing Jesus dragging the cross up that road. I was very emotional painting His body hanging on that cross and picturing what he endured for each and every one of us. Incredible sacrificial love! The color red is to represents the blood of Jesus, love of God, blood of lamb, atonement and salvation. Jesus rose up as lion to set His captives free! Jesus brought about the completion of all the Old Testament prophecies, symbols, and foreshadowing about Himself. Tetelestai. It is finished!
