The Cross


Your cross has a story for the generations and I would like to suggest that you print it out and give it with the crosses. This is the story I saw when I looked on it. You used 5 horseshoes , representing the hand of God. The thumb represents the apostle who starts the churches, the next finger is the prophet who points the finger,the next represents the evangelist who has the furthest out reach, the next is the ring finger represented the pastor married to the church, and the little finger the only one that fits in your ear representing the teacher. Each horseshoe is cut in two representing the curtain in the temple that was torn in twain at the time of the crucifixion. They are welded together in the form of a fish because Christ taught men to be fishers of men. The top fish is right side up representing the crucifixion of Christ while the bottom fish is upside down representing the way Peter chose to be crucified. The opening at the top of the cross is in a diamond shape reminding us that diamonds are forever as is the love and mercy of the Father Son and Holy Ghost. There are three points at the top of the cross reminding us that in 3 days Christ was resurrected, a promise given to us as well. The cross is painted gold reminding us of His authority and Kingship. Isn't that an awesome story to pass to our kids and grand kids through the generations.
