Sacrifice and the Cross

I had some thoughts in mind to share this morning,

and I like to always post a picture for you too.

But when I chose this picture, I realized suddenly,

that my message would be different.

So, I'm going by the Holy Spirit flow.....

These crosses are made by my husband,

and sold at my store, for various fundraisers...

They are beautiful. A labor of love...

Hand selected wood, mastering a design so they

would fit together perfectly;

routed on the edges for an added touch,

then finished with stain and oil 

to preserve them.

This time when I saw them, they looked so small....

so....incomplete, so not representative of Jesus,

of the sacrifice of His life, for us.

Of the suffering, the pain, the rejection, the death

that He took at the cross for us.

 But is there any cross we can make.....

 

Whether painted on paper......

made of wood, or even scraped into rock,

that can ever be big enough, beautiful enough, perfect enough.....

to represent the cross of Jesus?? 

To equal Jesus Love and sacrifice for us???

No, but we can use them

to help us Remember...

Jesus Love

 for us......

During this season we use to remember Christs birth....

let's do that.

Let's take a moment....to

Remember whose season it is,

and celebrate His birth.

Blessings in Him
