Message:
The Good shepherd,
the Beloved Son of the living God, is born to love and suffer and die for our
salvation.
God's Love (Jesus
Christ ) brings salvation to the world, through Love and suffering.
Those who love— they
must also suffer.
The good shepherd
triumphs over death and sin, through love and suffering.
The love of Christ is triumphant.
Description:
Heart: The heart is crowned with
thorns and pierced with nails— symbolic of the awaited sufferings and death on
the cross. The heart is symbolic of Love. Jesus Christ came into this world in
Love— to teach us to Love and bring us to salvation (in HIM). It is HIS Love,
that gives us the Grace and the strength, to live our life in Love and become
triumphant over the difficulties and trials of life. The glitter inside the
heart is symbolic of the Joy, despite the imminent sufferings.
Sword: The swords smeared with blood
are symbolic of the sword of King Herod, waiting to persecute child Jesus, and
the sword of the unbelieving Jews and the chief Priests, waiting to crucify
HIM.
Shepherd's crook: The shepherd's
staff is symbolic of Jesus Christ, being the Good shepherd, who leads the world
to salvation.
Star: The star is symbolic of HIS
glorious birth.
Vine twigs: The outgrowing vine
twigs, sprouting from the heart, entwine the swords; the nails and the
Shepherd's staff— symbolic of the triumphant Love of Jesus Christ—Jesus Christ defeats
and overcomes everything (persecution; sufferings; death and sin ).
Jesus Christ, the
true vine, perseveres in HIS Love, and gives testimony of HIS Love, despite the
opposition and indifference of the unbelieving world.
