I thought this photo would justly commemorate the resurrection of my long-time lifeless blog.
The beauty of this picture is not seen in the picture itself. Although the many crosses are an awesome display, the significance lies within the heart of the person capturing the sight of the crosses with a camera. In the midst of construction with constant noise, problem solving, and organized chaos, the contractor chose to acknowledge something noticeably different.
In John 17:15 Jesus’ prayer for his disciples is “not that You take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.”
Sanctify means “set apart”. Though we are in the world, Jesus’ prayer is for us to be set apart from the world. Understanding and application of this allows His truth to fill us and transform us into something noticeably different in His positive light.
A cross is a simple yet significant symbol of Christ’s love for every person. The power is in the resurrection – the life that is brought back from death – a noticeable difference.
While we are in this world may we be like the crosses in the picture. May we signify God’s glory upon this world.
