Subject/Title of Window: Resurrection Lamb

Brief Description of Subject: To complete the project, the side lights to the entry doors needed to be replaced. Since these windows were different size and shape, a design needed to be settled upon. In order to carry through on the design from the other windows, we were able to use the same unifying design of a cross with a seal superimposed upon it. We did not use a Bible story in the background, simplifying the design to focus attention upon the cross and and symbol.

A rainbow was placed over the cross to remind us of God’s promise of loving protection for as long as the world remains.
Angels with trumpets were placed over the rainbow to remind us that God’s messengers proclaim the good news of salvation to His people, and that we are to listen to that word until those angels with trumpets again appear with our Savior in the clouds on the Last Day to take us home eternally with Him.

The front doors used the seal of the triumphant Lamb, which is the messenger of Gospel proclaimed to all, that Jesus was slain for us to wash away our sin, but still He lives as our Savior and leads us safely to His eternal kingdom.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
