The Cross and Crown

Just as the joy of Easter continues, so does the Word from the Windows series. This series was originally scheduled to end on Easter, but due to popular demand the series will continue to mid- April, now including the windows in the narthex and a reimagining of Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler.

This week, we turn to The Cross and the Crown. The symbol in this window reminds us of the Lordship of Jesus and His work for us on our behalf through the cross. It is fitting in this season on resurrection, that we reflect upon the crown and the rule of Jesus. This symbol reminds us of Jesus’ servant nature and kingly nature, as Suffering Servant and Lord of Lords.

As you prepare for this week’s sermon, I encourage you to spend time with James 1:12. Reflect upon the following questions 1) How does your life as a Christ-follower reflect his Lordship? 2) How does your life as a Christ-follower model his servant nature and obedience? 3) What does receiving the crown of life mean to you?

See you Sunday as we continue to see the beauty and hear the story.
