WHY WEAR YOUR FAITH?

AS I CONTINUE TO SEEK & SEARCH "THE GOOGLE" to find out more information about Christian Jewelry, I'm discovering that this idea to "wear your faith" is actually a trend that has been picking up speed over the past 5 years. So we're amazingly on the edge of the wave...maybe even the cutting edge.

People have been adorning themselves with crosses & other religious icons since time began, but the question one must ask is simply this..."What does it mean to you?"

Recently, a good friend was rushed to the hospital & later diagnosed with Cancer. As she lie there overwhelmed by the news of her condition, the attending nurse came in & at once, my friend Ella Mae noticed the Cross around her neck. Before the nurse could utter a word, Ella Mae pointed to the Cross & said with great concern, "What does that mean to you?" The nurse did not hesitate for a moment & replied, "I'm a Christian & Jesus is my Lord & Savior." A wave of comfort filled Ella Mae as she realized the person she most needed at that very moment was sent to her... a sister in Christ. She then said to the nurse, "That [The Cross ] is important."

It is important. So many people adorn themselves with icons of which they have no understanding or connection, but wearing the Cross should not be taken lightly. The Cross means something profound. It is the single most recognizable image that takes us back to an event that happened 1980 years ago...give or take a year. Wearing the Cross or The Word of God for that matter, should mean that you belong to Christ. He is your Lord & Savior...

1 JOHN 4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

That you will declare Him before men knowing that He will declare you before God... and that's good to know!

MATTHEW 10:33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

So consider next time you see someone wearing a Cross around their neck or wrist or finger... or Tatooed in full color spanning the breadth of their back... consider asking them the question, "What does that mean to you?" It may just be your opportunity to share the true message of the Cross with someone who needs to wear it on the inside as well.
