POEM: Hope Gave All
Behold, the Light of the World.
The Light would not be overcome, even in the deadest places or in the darkest hour.
He so loved us that He came to die, so we may find life though His sacrifice. He chose love.
The withered wood of the cross became beautiful by the glory of the Light. It became a symbol of hope.
For a resurrection is only needed where restoration is required.
Out of darkness, came glorious Light.
Indeed, Hope Gave All.

The Heart Behind The Piece
This is the second piece in our “Hope” series (following “Hope Has Come”). Let me share my heart behind this piece and talk about the cross and the colors.
The Cross
The cross Jesus bore was very heavy, jagged in nature, raw wood, unsanded, nothing glamorous. There was nothing comfortable about a cross like this. It likely gave our Savior splinters in his back and tore his skin.
Yet as we reflect on that cross, we can also reflect and glory in the fact that He’s no longer there. The work has been done.
Because of that finished work, we are invited into the beauty of forgiveness, healing, restoration and freedom that bursts forth from the daily resurrection work in our lives.
If I’m honest, I’ve found it difficult to pull that reality into my own life over the years.
How does what happened thousands of years ago affect me today?
But as the years march on, the simple symbol of the cross has become more and more precious to me.
This guilded cross represents how God can take something ordinary and do extraordinary things with it.
Just like He does with you and me.
It’s a reminder that in this life we will share in the sufferings of Christ as His children and followers.
Whatever we face, whatever is ahead, He has a path. He is the path. We can believe His promises for life on Earth as it is in Heaven.
I pray when life is too hard to bear, that we let the strength of the Cross hold us up.
The Colors
The design is simple yet boasts much color. The brilliance is blasting out from the sides of the cross, representing victory and breaking forth into New Life. A celebration of color for the One who gave ALL for us!
Hope Gave ALL so that we could be free.
