T-Shirt Front:
Every color on the shirt represents something:
Gold: Represents God, the Creator of all, who lives in Heaven. The Bible says that God is Light and in Him there is no darkness - God is Perfect! God loves you and He wants to have a personal relationship with you. Jesus is God's son. The Bible says that Jesus and God are One.
Dark: Represents Sin, which is doing wrong things. God says that all have sinned and fall short of God's standard of perfection. Sin separates us from God. The Bible says that the penalty for our sins is death or separation from God forever.
How can your sins be removed so that you can know God?
Red: Represents Jesus' blood. Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, but He died on a cross to pay the penalty for all of our sin. Again, the payment of sin is death, so Jesus paid the penalty for each of us. Why? The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but will have everlasting life" (with God). The Good News is that you don't have to be separated from God forever by sin!
White: Represents each of us after our sins are washed away by Jesus. How can Jesus wash our sins away? When we believe in Jesus by following Him, our sins are forgiven. The Bible says, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
Have you accepted Jesus' gift of forgiveness by believing in Him?
Green: Represents growth in your relationship with God. The greatest commandment is that we love the Lord our God with all our Heart, soul, mind, and strength and that we love our neighbors as ourselves - Love God, Love People! Read the Bible each day to learn more about God and His love. Pray to God constantly and share your thoughts, needs, and desires with Him. When we are Baptized, we are telling the world that we have committed our lives to Jesus and that we are a new person, like being born all over again! Hang out with other Christians and encourage each other. (Church is a good place to start.) Share the Good News that Jesus can forgive sins when you trust in Him! Tell as many people as you can!
T-Shirt Back:
It is also a memorializes our trip location by showing where we are going as well as representing the Alaskan State Flag which is represented by the stars and blue background, which is really Navy Blue and not Royal Blue as shown here.
I'm thankful for the opportunity to have designed this shirt with input from several others, but even more for the the opportunity to wear this shirt and "Let my SoulShine!"
(A Christian friend printed these shirts for us and I would be happy to pass along his contact information to you if you have any t-shirt printing needs.)
I hope to be able to post a video of the theme song being sung on location (post-trip) so stay tuned...
