This one was inspired by a Monarch chrysalis we discovered on the side of the house. If you're not familiar with these, they are little, pre-packaged miracles. I strongly suggest you check out Illustra Media's documentary, "Metamorphosis." I did this from memory, and I wish I hadn't, because it's a little too angular for a monarch caterpillar. Oh well. I love the idea that the Pharisees, who sought to harm this lady in order to attack Christ, inadvertently brought her to the one person who could truly save her. Process video below. I drew this one after a little online brouhaha in which popular speaker John Piper insinuated that people shouldn't be bringing coffee into the sanctuary. To quote, "Can we reassess whether Sunday coffee-sipping in the sanctuary fits? 'Let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe.' Hebrews 12:28" Regardless of your opinions on coffee, I fixated on his misuse of the word "sanctuary," an error which might also moderate his views on coffee. The inspirational source for this was David Dunlap's book, "Hallowed Be Thy Name." It also inspired this little doodle: |
