This is RENEW In basic primary colors to signify getting back to the basics In Christianity, the butterfly symbolizes the resurrection of Christ. “For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:52. The “church” is changing.
As a caterpillar disappears into its cocoon, appearing dead and after a time it emerges, transformed into something more beautiful and powerful, a butterfly. "So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body." 1 Corinthians 15:42-44
The church belongs to Jesus, who not only is in charge of it but knows what He is doing with it, is now being reborn into Him and without our needs for separate religions in structures used only to sanctify our ceremonies. These rings on the sill are symbolic as coins on a headstone Along side a bud vase with a cut and dying flower.
Ephesians 4: 11 “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
It is important for our personal well being as a community and for our collective family of God to act on “what would Jesus do? Well.... Luke 14:6 says, "Jesus went back to Nazareth, where he'd been brought up and as usual he went to the meeting place on the Sabbath." Imagine what would happen if we all showed up and were ready to pray and worship Him together? New meeting place… hmmmm… have a seat. Lets talk to Jesus together.
Until the other side then. ~Denise
