Sarah found this picture, The Last Supper, which she is using in a worship service tonight. I find it uncomfortably challenging, but I don’t know why.
There’s loads of symbolism here and the more I look at it, the more I notice and the more uncomfortable I feel. The broken bread in 2 pieces, the spilt blood, the warped glass, the anguised face of Jesus, the darkness behind him.
I’m finding it really powerful and Judith Wolfe, the artist, has interpreted the last supper in quite a provocative way.

eeewww Rob. It’s creepy. I’m not sure I could get into it, as I’d be spending too much time with my skin crawling.
LucyYeah I know what you mean – but the creepier thing is that you managed to comment again only minutes after I posted. Are you nocturnal too?
lolol yep. And I had dejavu, as you rewrote the post after I had replied. Spooky.
Rob,Christ’s sacrifice is something to celebrate, not mourn, and that picture is very mournful, twisted and distorted, rather than a joyful thanksgiving for what he did on the cross.So thats why I dont like it.Lucy
LucyI agree. Sometimes, though, I also think it is good for us to meditate on the pain that he actually went through for us. I won’t say I like the picture; it provokes thoughts of disgust in me and I guess the crucifixion would have done this to those that were there.
