The Resurrection

The Resurrection

If asked about my favorite parts of the New Testament I would say the four gospels. If pressed further I would struggle and then I would say the parts of the gospels that talk about the Resurrection.

 

 

 

All that the teachings of the gospel and all the life of Christ is meaningless if we don't remember and consider the resurrection. All that Christ suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross means nothing unless we remember that Christ was indeed resurrected.  The spirit and the body of Christ were reunited. Let's look at the gospel of St. Matthew, chapter 28:

 

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 9 ¶And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. (Matthew 28:1-10)

Sterling silver Celtic cross pendants are a great reminder to the resurrection.

Typically when people decide to start reading the Bible they start in Genesis or Matthew and they get into it about 10-15 chapters before they falter. This being the case, I have to wonder how many times they have read the Beatitudes and read the passage of Matthew 5:27-28 about adultery.

 

"Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." (Matthew 5:27-28)

 

 

 

Many of these so-called Christians seem to completely overlook this passage when they go to movie that's objectify women in an unflattering light. Christians live together without making marriage vows and all kinds of sexual indiscretions.

Away In A Manger Lyrics

Away in a manger no crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
 

The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh
 

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the Heavens look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
 

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
I love thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh
Stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Celtic Cross Necklace

Celtic Cross Necklace

The Celtic cross has been around before Christianity came to the Celts. Of course there is the traditional lure that the Celtic cross came from St. Patricks missionary efforts among the Celtic or Irish. How the Celtic cross necklace came into being isn't as important now as is the point that the Celtic cross necklace is wildly popular and considered mainstream cross necklaces.

The silver Celtic cross necklace is a mainstream cross necklace but it is still different in that the Celtic cross pendant is far more symbolic that the tradition cross pendant. Let's look at a few silver Celtic cross necklaces and look specifically on the symbolism.

The first silver Celtic cross necklace picture has the traditional Celtic circle in the intersection. The Celtic circle represents eternity. The Irish clover isn't on that many silver Celtic cross necklaces but when it does it represents the Holy Trinity. Three leaves each represents a member of the Trinity. The Celtic trinity knots have the same symbolism.

The silver Celtic cross pendant in this Irish Celtic cross necklace has the trinity knots on the end caps. It also has a Claddagh symbol in place of the traditional Celtic circle. On top of the Claddagh symbol is another trinity knot. The Claddagh symbol has a pair of hands holding a heart with a crown on top of the heart. The hands mean friendship, the heart means love and the crown mean loyalty and fidelity.
