Day 26, The Sanctuary’s Ceiling Windows at St. Mark – Sharon Cardwell
“I am the light of the world” (John 8:12.)
Have you ever noticed that there are three windows in the sanctuary ceiling? Did you further see that they are triangular and when you look closely you will see a cross in each one as well? These are unique windows. During the day, the light shines from above. Sometimes, during a service, the light streams in hitting the pews and will shine a direct light on a particular congregant. This has happened to me. At first, I didn’t like having the light in my eyes, but then I thought “maybe that is God reminding me thru that light that God is always with me”. Furthermore, the crosses in the window remind me of the cross that Christ died on. “For God so loved the World that God gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him, shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16.) Let’s remember not only to think about Christ’s sacrifice, but to remember God is always with us, and reminds us to let our light shine before men so others see God’s light in us as we set an example for others.
“Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven” (Matthew 5:16.)
“Thank you God for loving us and sending your son to us. When we see the cross in the windows in the sanctuary, may we remember His sacrifice and let God’s light shine through us.”
