Preach the Kerygma
August 22nd 2014
Pine Board, Wood burning
5.5 inches x 2 feet

This is a little commission my dad had for me. A priest friend of ours' has been wanting something like this inside the vesting room at his parish for a while.

The "Kerygma" is the essential message of the Christian Faith and of the Gospels. Namely, that Man was created good by God and has fallen into sin, and that to save humanity God promised throughout the Old Testament that a Messiah would come who would redeem humanity. Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, is this Messiah foretold by the prophets, that he spent His life in service and ministry to others, that He was crucified, died to redeem us, rose from the dead three days later, established a Church through His apostles, and now sits at the right hand of the Father. That He sent the Holy Spirit to guide the Church, and that to be saved all must repent of their sins, be baptized and and be made a new creation in His body, the Church. It's the initial proclamation of Christianity. So Father wanted this little plaque essentially since it's supposed to be a reminder to keep "the basics" in mind while preaching from the pulpit and to remember what it's all about in the first place. :nod: 

Note to self: Pine is a terrible kind of wood to burn. It's very nicely grained, smooth and soft, but the sap gunks up the burning tip faster than anything. :hmm:
