Luke 22:1-23
VISUAL ART NOTES
In her digital painting, re-member me, Lisle Gwynn Garrity recalls the events of Luke 22:1-23. As Judas plans to betray Jesus, Jesus shares a meal with Judas. Garrity writes, “In the face of so much uncertainty and fear for the future, how might you behave? Judas wants the nightmare to end. He wants security, assurance, quick relief. He wants to go back to how things used to be. And so, evil enters into Judas’ story like ink spilled across the page. But Jesus doesn’t let Judas’ story end here. Instead, he welcomes him to the table…he offers him a meal where brokenness just makes more to pass around. He pours into a common cup that promises a new way forward…Scarcity and fear and conflict will always threaten to dismember our story. But can we remember that God has a greater story to tell—a story that re-members us and makes us whole?”
