The words Joy, Love, Hope, Peace are carved into the body of this exceptional cross and are a wonderful reminder of the significance of the four words. These words are used many times in the new testament referring to some on the changes displayed by those reborn in the spirit. In Romans 8:24 Paul states; " For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it." The hope of the believer is one of confidence born in the promises of Christ's ressurection. In Galations 5:22 Paul states; "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." He includes love, joy and peace as three of the fruits of the spirit which all believers embrace as thier inheritance from Christ.     This cross is laser crafted from 1/4" premium white Russian birch then hand finished in red oak and gloss lacquer and it comes in small, medium and large sizes.  It makes a wonderful gift or addition to your cross collection.  You may purchase from our Wood Christian Cross collection in our ebay store.
