Something To Think About.

THE ROSE

The red rose has long been a পছন্দ of প্রেমী at Valentines Day. I believe it can also be a powerful symbol of Holy Week.

First are the thorns. This reminds us of the crown of thorns our Lord wore. They also remind us that he was wounded for our iniquities.

সেকেন্ড is the color red. This symbolizes His blood he shed. It is His blood that washes away our sins and makes us clean. It was His blood that redeemed from death.

Thirdly is the stem. The rose draws life from the stem, just as we gain access to eternal life from Christ.

Lastly, the rose is a gift. To give a rose আপনি must separate it from the গুল্ম from which it draws life. In the same way a rose can symbolize the way God separated himself from his son, when our sins were place on him. This happened that we would not suffer eternal separation from God, but instead enjoy his presence now and for eternity. Also, as a gift, a rose must be accepted দ্বারা the receiver. Have we accepted God’s precious rose?

Yes, the red rose does signify the প্রণয় shown on that day. It testifies to the প্রণয় and power that raised our Lord on the third day. The same প্রণয় that will raise us.

So with this rose, I remind আপনি of God’s প্রণয় for us. Hopefully that প্রণয় is reflected through me to you.
