The Cross Above the Doorway

A few years ago, I preached a message on The Cross of Jesus Christ. One part of the presentation was the sharing of a historical tradition of ancient Jesus-believers who placed symbols of the cross above the doorways of their dwellings. At the end of the service, we gave a cross to be hung above the door in every home of those who attended our local church. 

This week Kim, Lucy and I settled into our new cottage home in Cape May, New Jersey. As we were “setting up house”, the first thing I did was to place a nail above the front door — actually the only door — and then hang a cross there. 

If you’re curious about the meaning of this ancient tradition, find it below along with a photo of our doorway and our chosen cross nailed above it. 

Presence Matters Most!

That is... Presence. Unity. Souls. Love.
