The Tulip

"Because I live, you also will live". - John 14:19.(GNB). 


Recently, while driving through the city, we passed a church. This was not a typical, large-city church with a new design and a modern look. It was a simple brick building that we were more accustomed to seeing in smaller communities.


To one side of the main entrance, there was a large wooden cross, a reminder of Christ's victory, for all to see. Yet it wasn't the cross that grabbed my attention. Beside the cross, among the grass and weeds, was a lone red tulip.


What a wonderful testimony to Christ's love for us. It was as though a drop of His blood had touched the ground beneath the cross, there to spring again into life, a vision of His promise of eternal life.


All it takes is a drop, and His love can grow in our tender hearts. For us, He died. For us, He lives. For us, He loves.


You have been raised to life with Christ, so set your hearts on the things that are in heaven, where Christ sits on his throne at the right-hand side of God.- Colossians 3:1 (GNB)
