represents God’s promises to you that he makes to you in your baptism— he will never fail you! Reach Principal Schultz The rest of the flag is a solid at dschultz@llhs.org white. The symbol? Purity. Jesus was the pure and holy Lamb of God that took away the sins of the world. You become pure as Jesus takes away your sins and gives you his righteousness.
With all the flags you’ll see this summer, don’t forget the Christian flag! Try to find one. Ask the people you’re with if they know what the flag symbolizes. It’s so simple, but think of how deep the meaning behind the Christian flag. Jesus died and rose for you. Your faithful God and Savior is connected to you in baptism! Jesus has given his holiness to you!
Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇲 DS
