"Come Unto Me"295 viewsThe words of the Savior bid us welcome as we enter His sanctuary. Note:
the three crosses, two in the light, one in the dark; the baptism of Jesus; John the Baptist said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world;" the dove and the vertical beam of light symbolizing the presence of the Holy Spirit and God the Father and the baptism of God the Son; the lamb in the thicket reminding us of the sacrificial substitute which god provided for Abraham and Isaac, thus foreshadowing the supreme sacrifice of God's own Son, our Lord Jesus Christ; the nail prints in the hands of the welcoming Lord; the pastoral setting of the window which, like Psalm 23 says, "The Lord is my Shepherd."

Crucifixion294 viewsThe sacrifice of the Son of God upon the cross is made for the sins of the world. "We have been sanctified," Scripture says, "through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." [Hebrews 10:10]
From his side--pierced with a spear--blood and water flow forth. [John 19:34] Water droplets from the cross flow to the Baptismal stream, reminding us of the Sacrament of Baptism. Blood droplets from the cross flow to the Cup and Host of Holy Communion where we receive the very Body and Blood of the Lord. Both Sacraments bring us the benefits of the Cross "for the forgiveness of sins," as printed at the window's base.
