W O R S H I P
You have noticed that at the beginning of each worship service during the processional hymn, the Bible is carried in, elevated in the bearers hands followed by the crucifer (cross bearer). The practice of carrying a cross in procession goes back to the 4th century. In some traditions the cross leads the procession. Often those crosses were crucifixes with Christ on the cross, the idea being that we follow Christ as our head. In our case, we lead the procession with the Bible, reminding us that In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Before anything was, the Logos, (Jesus), has always been. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. That Word, Jesus Christ, through the cross, brought redemption to all. So in our case, the cross follows the Word. We begin each worship service with the powerful visual statement that God, who has always existed, became human flesh, dwelt among us, died, defeated death (the cross is empty), ascended to the Father, and intercedes on our behalf in this very worship service. Its with this mindset that we enter worship this morning. The Lord be with you.
