The Cross - Prophecies Fulfilled

The story behind our canvas cross art piece.

You may have noticed that our cross art piece in our worship gatherings is a little different than others you may have seen.

This piece, created by Scott Erickson, is called "Cross - Fulfillment of Prophecy." Each symbol represents a different prophecy that was fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Below, you will find the prophecy that each symbol represents as well where it was promised and fullfilled in Scripture so that we may see Jesus for who He is and what He has done instead of merely seeing a symbol of Christianity.

We are so grateful for people like Scott Erickson that create beautiful art with such depth of thought, meaning, and Truth. Please go and check out the rest of his work as you are able. Chances are, you will be seeing more of it around here soon.
