The Scarecrow Cross
We had really good feed back on the Sanctuary First service last night. the theme Giard the Good seemed to strike a chord with anumber of people who attended. The thing that seemed to get people talking was the Scarecrow Cross. I think there is quite a bit of reflection needed on the whhole idea of the cross and the scarecrow. It seems to me that this image reminds me that God was in christ redeeming the world. Defeating evil. I guess this is the Christus Victor theory of the atonement. Christ on the cross was challenging evil and ends up winning. Defeating evil and chasing the darkness away. So here is our Scarecrow Cross. The cross is God's promise to usthat he is guarding our lives through his deth on the crosss.
