This #PalmSunday we are helped to focus on Jesus through this artwork for our #GreatEasterTrail by Major Mike Stannett. Based on John 13:7 ('You do not realise now what I am doing, but later you will understand'), the palm branches hide much from view yet invite us to look deeper

As we travel through #HolyWeek on our #GreatEasterTrail, we share another thought-provoking painting by Maj Mike Stannett based on Luke 22:19 ('Do this remembrance of me'). When Jesus washed the disciples' feet, he was showing them who he was. Do we do likewise as we serve him? 
3:49
Fantastic to see @Frelsesarmeen Røros sharing its #GreatEasterTrail in the local newspaper – 14 artistic interpretations of the Easter story for locals to visit in a socially-distanced way. We’d love to see how you’ve been getting creative to share Easter in your community.

In another striking #HolyWeek painting, Maj Mike Stannett invites us to pause and consider the words of Luke 22:42 – 'Take this cup from me; yet not my will be done but yours’. Which ‘cup’ do we choose? One of sacrifice/service, or of worldly influence/prestige? #GreatEasterTrail

In response to the flash floods in the Sigi area in Indonesia the #SalvationArmy’s Woodward hospital in Palu organised emergency mobile clinics in the affected areas. Thank you Major Ety and the APS ("Aksi Peduli Sesama’/ Compassion in Action) emergency response team.

Our #HolyWeek reflections continue with this thought-provoking painting by Maj Mike Stannett. Isaiah 53:5 prophesies: ‘He was wounded for our transgressions.’ Confronted by the ugliness of Jesus' death, we inevitably realise we are the reason for his punishment. #GreatEasterTrail

The Salvation Army in Gjøvik #Norway 🇳🇴 has been preparing for its #GreatEasterTrail, telling the story of Easter through artworks throughout the town. People are able to walk a defined route to learn more about what Jesus accomplished on the Cross, and there are Easter eggs too!

'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!’ The words of Matthew 17:5 were heard at Jesus’ baptism, but Major Mike Stannett - the artist behind this impactful painting - suggests the words also fit Jesus' final moments on the Cross. #GreatEasterTrail

Jesus said: ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’ Major Mike Stannett reflects: ‘Love triumphs over fear/death… the key to eternal life. The resurrection is Jesus’ entry into God’s kingdom. He throws open the gates of Heaven!’
