Black Forest, Colorado
No one expects a statue in the middle of the forest especially when there are no other statues surrounding it, but that's where you will find this sculpture dedicated to peace.
The staff in the woman's hand has the word "peace" in many different languages. No matter what language we speak, Christ is our source of peace.
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Colossians 3:15 New International Version
There is a great deal that separates one Christian from another. Languages separate us. The color of our skin separates us. The type of songs we like to sing separates us.
There is only one thing that can break through all these barriers; the blood of Christ. It is his peace that rules in our hearts both as individuals and as communities.
There is both vertical and horizontal dimensions to this gift of peace. The peace we have with God through the cross of Christ is lived out in the community of God's people.
It seems odd that Paul would add the admonition to be thankful, yet when Christ's peace rules his people there is reason to give thanks.
