耶路撒冷十字架遍佈在聖地各處的旗幟、徽章和教堂尖塔之上。十字架的形狀具有重要的歷史和屬靈意義——大的十字架代表耶穌,四個小的代表馬太、馬可、路加和約翰四本福音書,亦代表福音走向地的四角——世界各地。
耶路撒冷十字架就像在呼籲世界各地的基督徒在各城各鄉傳講主耶穌的話,告訴世人上主的愛已透過他獨生子的受難和復活彰顯於世,成就主託付給眾人的大使命——使萬民作他的門徒。
The Jerusalem cross is seen on flags, crests, and church steeples throughout the Holy Land. The shape of the cross carries deep historical and spiritual significance. The large cross represents Jesus. The four smaller ones represent the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – going out to the four corners of the world.
The Jerusalem cross urges Christians everywhere to spread the word of Lord Jesus all over the world. It reminds us of God’s love through the crucifixion and resurrection of his only son, and to fulfill his Great Commission – Go and make disciples of all nations.
