Easter Cross

Easter is just round the corner, perhaps, just minutes away, or hours, or a day to go, depending on which part of the world you're in.

What do we see for Easter? Rabbits, eggs, chocolates, chicks, hot cross buns. It has become so commercialised, it's frightening.

Today I'd like to share this Easter cross with you. Easter bears special meaning for me as I remember the death on the cross that Jesus took on the cross for everyone's sins and his victorious resurrection on the third day.

The cross is made to look like chains - Jesus has come to break away the chains of sin and death.
The woven crown - That represents this crown of thorns he was made to wear.
The heart - At the very very start of it all, was love from God to save man out of sin and damnation. It was also a reminder of Romans 10:9 that says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
The flowers - They represent new life and growth.

What meaning does Easter bear for you?
