This Christmas banner is a celebration of the "fullness of time," when God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem the world. It is divided into 12 segments, representing the face of a clock. Galatians 4:4 says: "When the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons." Ephesians 1: 3-10 also refers to God's plan to make us his children in Christ Jesus in the fullness of time. The flower in the center is the Messianic Rose which symbolizes our Savior. A sharply pointed star in the center foreshadows the five wounds he endured on the cross, the price he paid to make us his own. design and article by Lois Prahlow
