Safe Passage ...

“My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.”

 ~ American evangelist, prominent evangelical Christian figure, and ordained Southern Baptist minister who became well-known internationally in the late 1940s. One of his biographers has placed him “among the most influential Christian leaders” of the 20^th century.

I spotted this “Jesus 2024” sign in front of Friedens United Church of Christ, Slatington, Pennsylvania and had to stop to photograph this uplifting sight as a car sped by on Route 873 on a late May evening in this election year.

In these tumultuous times especially, it is a reminder that when all else is failing, Jesus is still there for us, and a powerful reminder of the hope that Jesus brings as we travel through this world.

I spotted this “Jesus 2020” sign – the first I’ve ever seen – in front of Friedens United Church of Christ, Slatington, Pennsylvania and had to stop to photograph this uplifting sight as a motorcycle sped by on Route 873 on an early October evening. In these tumultuous times especially, it is a reminder that when all else is failing, Jesus is still there for us!

He’s not a third-party presidential candidate up for election in November, but thousands across the country are putting up “Jesus 2020” yard signs. More than 5,000 signs have shipped out to California, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and other states from a campaign that began at Sampey Memorial Baptist Church, Ramer, Alabama.

“People need Jesus with everything that’s going on,” Joyce Hubbard, one of the Jesus 2020 co-organizers, told Fox News. He’s the only one that we can count on. He’s the one that keeps his promises. He’s already the winner.”

 

Triumph ...

“The Resurrection of Christ changed the midnight of bereavement into a sunrise of reunion; it changed the midnight of disappointment into a sunrise of joy; it changed the midnight of fear to a sunrise of peace.”

A wooden Cross draped in white for Easter stands outside Friedens United Church of Christ, Slatington, Pennsylvania as sunset beckons on a beautiful April day, reminding all who see it of Christ’s Resurrection and triumph.
