Have you ever notice this symbol located in the center of our altar?
It is a “Christogram” or a religious symbol for Jesus Christ. Originating in Medieval Western Europe, JHS (or IHS) is a Latin acronym for Jesus Hominum Salvator – Jesus Savior of Mankind.

As Martin Luther summarized it, “We believe the divine majesty to be three distinct persons of one true essence.”

We Christians revel in the fact that God has saved us, and when we set out to explain what that means we cannot avoid speaking of God as Father, Son, and Spirit – that the Father in grace sent his Son on a mission of rescue, that the Son came and accomplished our redemption, and that the Spirit, being sent by the Father and the Son, has drawn us to Christ, uniting us to him so that we may enjoy, in him, all the benefits of his saving work. Indeed, by the Spirit the Triune God himself has come to indwell us, to make us his, and to secure us for himself in love forever. When we are baptized, we are baptized into the name (note the singular) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. When we pray, we pray to the Father in the name of the Son and by the enablement of the Spirit and thereby worship the Triune God. When we sing, we sing praise to the one God who has saved us, and yet when we itemize that saving work we speak distributively of the work of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God [the Father], and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit” (2 Cor. 13:14) are “with us” in joyful realization of the saving work of each, together, for us. We praise the Father for sending his Son; we praise the Son for coming to us in his incarnation, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and eventual return; we praise the Spirit for shedding abroad in our hearts this wonderful sense of the love of God for us, causing us to know in experience that we are sons of God in Christ; and we praise the Three in One. Clearly, this doctrine is much more than mere abstract truth of isolated significance.

The wood wall hanging reminds us that God is like no other and that he is beyond the bounds of our finite minds. We may know him truly, for he has revealed himself to us. But we cannot grasp him fully. And so we learn to bow in humble adoration of his greatness and glory.and we may revel more fully and more joyfully in the wonder of who he is and what he has done for us.
