Heart Cross
May 31st, 2010
What is the symbolic meaning of a heart with a cross inside it?
My friend told me it means “only god loves me,” is that true?
It could mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. I’m a confessional Lutheran. The Lutheran Rose (an emblem of the Lutheran Church) has a cross within a heart. You can look at it by clicking on the link I’ve provided. Luther explains what the symbol meant to him when he designed it:
”The first thing expressed in my seal is a cross, black, within the red heart, to put me in mind that faith in Christ crucified saves us. “For with the heart man believes unto righteousness.” Now, although the cross is black, shameful, and intended to cause pain, yet it does not change the color of the heart, does not destroy nature. In other words, it does not kill but keeps alive. “For the just shall live by faith” – by faith in the Savior. But this heart is fixed on the center of a white rose, to show that faith causes joy, comfort, and peace. The rose is white not red, because white is the ideal color of all angels and blessed spirits. This rose, moreover, is fixed in a sky-colored background, to show that such joy of faith in the spirit is but a promise and beginning of heavenly joy to come. This joy, though not yet revealed, is looked forward to and held by the hope which we have. Around this background is a ring, to show that such bliss in heaven is endless. And since the ring is made of gold, the best and most precious metal, it also shows that the bliss of heaven is more precious than all other joys and treasures.” — Martin Luther

Heart Of The Cross $18.99 “These inspirational readings will give you a richer understanding of the amazing love that drove Jesus to the cross and what His death accomplished.In Jesus’ words and work on the cross is a message for each of us. A message of eternal life offered up freely. Of a perfect love with no end. Of a glorious hope attained at great cost. And of a divine power that exists beyond the limitations of all flesh and has conquered the powers of hell once and for all.Calvary is not only the essence of Jesus’ ministry to mankind, but the heart of Christianity. It should be at the center of our lives as Christians. These devotional readings probe Christ’s last earthly words and the biblical writers’ words about the cross to reveal not only the meaning of Calvary, but the heart of God.” |
