Lighthouse Mosaic

The Lighthouse is something used in navel navigation to shine light into dark places, being a beacon of light as a warning against danger and guiding to safe harbor.  They are firmly planted on solid rock (as opposed to the sandy ground of the beach that easily sinks when the waves come).  
The Lighthouse represents the shining light of Christ.  We, as God’s people, are to be that beacon of the Light of God shining in a dark place, firmly planted on the solid ground of the Truth of Christ’s Love.  

A Mosaic is a picture made up of many different smaller pieces, usually either of very different pictures that seemingly have nothing to do with the big masterpiece being created, or  pieces of colorful tile or glass.  Up close, it just looks like broken, jagged, sharp pieces of glass that might not be polished and are quite rough around the edges.  But when you get a broad look at the whole work of art, you see how all the rough, broken pieces fit just perfectly together to create a beautiful flowing image.
The Mosaic represents the many different, colorful, broken lives that make up the kingdom of God.

I like thinking of the Lighthouse Mosaic as a stained glass window, something let’s the glorious light of Jesus shine through the brokenness to create a beautiful, majestic, glorious picture of the kingdom of God and of His glory.
