The Crown

Some of you have asked what this symbol is that R Johnson uses when he signs his letters to you. Some have asked if it's a turtle (good guess but incorrect); others have suggested that it may be a deformed arachnid. Wrong again.

This symbol represents the crown of thorns placed on Christ's head as he hung on the cross and the the three nails (one at each wrist and one for both his feet together) that held him there. It is an expression of R Johnson's faith in not only the death we share in Christ but also the resurrection that we will enjoy as a result of our faith in Him.

Hallelujah!


Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.”- Martin Luther
