Caring Symbolized

Virgil Warren, christir.org PDF

We are holding symbols of caring. In his Son, God shows us that deity understands what it is like to be human—to be weak, though he is omnipotent; to die, though he is eternal; to hurt, hunger, feel abandoned, and be tempted like we are, yet without sin. “He knows our frame” (Psalm 103:14), but caring bridges the difference between us and the ideal.

These symbols say how much he cares. They picture his perfection standard combined with great grace as demonstrated in his Son. The Son’s last act of ministry epitomizes the value God places on us and draws us back to live to him in like fashion.
