| Basic Stained Glass Making |
Stained glass windows can be very beautiful and are very expensive. Church furniture can be luxurious and enormously costly. Many church services in wealthy western countries are fashion parades of opulence and grandeur. In such a setting it may be hard to imagine the church service that Jesus performed at that Passover season before his death. It was a dirty ceremony, totally without the pomp and majesty of a grand cathedral. Jesus took off his robe and wrapped himself in a towel to wash feet (John 13:1-35). There is no sin in splendor and pageantry. The is plenty of that to be read about in the temple and heaven. However, that is not the core of Christianity. At the very heart of our faith is service in love for others. Love for neighbor is where real Christians get dirty.
