Post Secret Card

The secret was supposed to be that at times, even Jesus did not believe the words in his sermons. I conveyed the message in an open and explicit manner. In the background of the text I drew the 3 crosses on a hill with the center cross being the largest. I did so because I wanted to strongly suggest that the man behind the secret was Jesus without overtly stating it. The text was hand written and the font and positioning didn't have much to do with the message. I did however include dots at two points in the message, this was to create a feeling that Jesus never wanted to admit this but it weighed heavily on his mind. The way in which I portrayed Jesus was as hesitant and uneasy about revealing his secret. I didn't want the viewer to be shocked about the message, but I wanted to put the thought in their mind that this might have actually been a thought of Jesus. I don't necessarily believe this, but I still think it's important to question what we've always been taught.
