While attending church on Sunday morning God gave Lorry the idea for this design inspired by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ -
“Rev14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown...”
Crown Him features the colors of the Gospel message:
- Purple: The color of the outer ring and the center cross represent royalty.
- White: This next ring represents purity and the cleansing power of the blood of Christ, making us as white as snow.
- Gold: Represents the riches of God - the one who humbled himself to let man crown him with thorns now wears a crown of Gold.
- Red: Represents the blood of Christ which was shed for remission of our sins.
- Black: This inner ring represents our fallen sin nature - whereby we must be saved.
- Gray: The inner circle area behind the crosses is gray to represent the darkening of the sky when Christ was crucified.
We had not planned this but we noticed that there were 12 golden nuggets in the crown - a significant number representing the 12 apostles.
