☧ Raising the Banner of the Cross ☧
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” — 2 Timothy 2:3 (NKJV)
In a world that bows to compromise, we raise the blood-stained banner of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, not in pride, but in humble allegiance to the One who bore our shame. This painting is not mere art, it is a declaration. A group of men, weathered and resolute, lifting high the Christian flag as a symbol of purity, fidelity, and the sacrificial love of Calvary.
We are not called to comfort. We are called to carry, to bear the weight of truth in a world that despises it. These men do not stand for themselves; they stand for the Gospel. They do not lift a flag for fame; they lift it for the Lamb.
As a Baptist Pastor, I cling to the New Covenant sealed in Christ’s blood. My hope is not in institutions, movements, or personalities, it is in the enduring faith that perseveres until the end. The narrow path is steep, but it is holy. And every step taken in grace and truth is a step toward glory.
Let this image stir your soul. Let it remind you that we are not alone in the fight. We are a brotherhood of burden, yoked together under the Lordship of Christ, lifting high the standard of righteousness in a fallen world.
📖 “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” — John 12:32 (NKJV)
