"The Good Shepherd" stained glass window
The “Good Shepherd” window is inspired by the 23rd Psalm. The shepherd’s staff encircled with a crown, combined with a harp, symbolizing David, the shepherd, who became the King and who was the author of the 23rd Psalm. The image of serenity and peace throughout the stained-glass recall Psalm 23:1, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” The image of the lamb recalls Psalm 23:2, “He leadeth me in green pastures and beside the still waters.” The blue skies which symbolize the heavens and the Word of God recall Psalm 23:3, “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” The black imagery behind the lamb recalls Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” The image of the oil pouring from the horn at the top of the mountain recalls Psalm 23:5, “ Thou
preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” The IHS is a symbol of Christ; the bread and wine are a symbol of Christ’s redemptive work; and the lighted door with a cross in the center is a symbol that Christ has opened the doors of heaven to us and recalls for the Christian Psalm 23:6, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of
the LORD forever.”

Learn to know Christ
Learn to know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him, and say, Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon yourself what is mine and given me what is yours. You have become what you were not so that I might become what I was not.
