Pesach (Passover) Door 2023
This is a modern piece to remind us of the Pesach (Passover) Door. Red represents the blood of the lamb brushed around the lintel. The blood kept the enemy and death out. It was protection. Divine protection.
The door was also the exit for the Hebrew nation, a combination of those of the 12 tribes of Israel and some Egyptians (people of the world) who exited with them. The door was an exit from oppression and slavery. The Door was the Way to a better life following God.
The aqua-blue surrounding the door represents heaven and God.
The glass pieces within represent the changes that God makes as we follow Him.

ABOVE
Nativity 2022, Kelly Jadon; glass, jewelry, framed
above pastures greened between
thorns
above a cave carved for sheep gone
out to pastures grown green
above a child born in the cave
for a world waiting in wonder
above the world sang songs of heaven
by heavenly hosts
“peace on earth”
“goodwlll to men”

Is the Cross yet Green?
Green Cross Nativity, Kelly Jadon, 2022, glass, resin
is the cross yet green? (Luke 23:31)
full of youth, full of its first fruited love
is there long-lingering life within its boughs
its branches?
is the cross yet green?
full of fat dripping as oil pressed under stone’s pressure?
is the cross yet green?
leafed profusely full as leaves for the healing of the nations?
the cross of Life
whittled from wood
shouldered by Jesus
embedded at Golgatha’s death gate
the cross of life
born from death
raised by God the Father
raised by Holy Spirit
the Son
life from the cross
the same yesterday, today, tomorrow
from Life, from the cross, from Christ comes
the solution to every issue
(C) Kelly Jadon, 2022
The House of Bread
Nativity, Sea Glass Mosaic, Kelly Jadon, 2022, No longer available
born in Bethlehem
the “house of bread”
to become the “Bread of Life”
to all who eat of Him
His body, His flesh
the manna from Heaven
come from above
His body, His flesh
made at His Word
for all things were made through Him
His body, His flesh
that He might tabernacle
among us
for a time
His body, His flesh
the Temple
torn down
and rebuilt in three days
raised from the dead!

Beneath the Cross
Photo Credit: Kelly Jadon, Beneath the Cross, 2022
beneath the cross
ignorant men
gambling for something they could not keep
just as He did not keep them at His death
“Father, forgive them” He prayed
instead
beneath the cross
the ignorant watched and waited
then one proclaimed
“truly He was the Son of God!”
His life His own
Spirit given up
instead
beneath the cross
the pagans who dealt in death
erected life to leave from cross’s cruelish crucifixion
received their pay
while He —Savior for all who called His Name
paid for their sins
instead
Upon This Rock
Upon This Rock, Kelly Jadon 2022
“Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb;
and you shall strike the rock,
and water will come out of it,
so that the people may drink.”
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. (Exodus 17:6)
Moses, a type of Lord Jesus
stood upon the rock,
the rock of the desert—Horeb,
a place in the wilderness
Lord Jesus stood upon Golgotha—the place of the skull, (John 19:17)
of the head, the head of death
as Moses was the head of a people led by God
thirsty in the wilderness
so is Lord Jesus the head of a people (Ephesians 1:22)
thirsty for Him in a desert place
as the rock was struck by the rod of authority
the rod of Moses
so was Lord Jesus struck by the wrath of God
Who is the Authority
as He is the Rock, stricken (Isaiah 53:4-6)
so He also gave up His life of His own free will (John 10:18)
as water coursed out of the rock to quench the thirst
of a people
relying only upon the mercy and compassion of God
so too did water flow from the side of Jesus
from the cross, upon the rock, the skull of death
even from the Rock, the Lord
when soldier’s spear did pierce His side (John 19:34)
because of the mercy and compassion of God
upon all those who would turn to Him
as the water provided renewed life to a parched people
so too does Lord Jesus provide renewed life, life everlasting, life eternal (John 3:16)
to those who drink from Him
because He lives
He is the source of living water (John 4:10)
the water that will not cease
as Moses obeyed the Lord in the sight of all the people
so too was Lord Jesus lifted up
before all people (John 12:32)
in obedience to God the Father (Philippians 2:8)
upon the rock
the Lord overcame death by trampling death
raised to life (Mark 16:6)
He, the Rock, the Cornerstone of the Church (Matthew 21:42)
which shall not be overcome by death’s own darkness (Psalm 23:4)
neither those hidden in Him
the rod of Christ protects His own
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)
His obedience, His death, His rod, His life, His people,
all His
upon this Rock
“it is finished”
—last words—lasting words
spoken from the rock of Calvary—the skull,
now overcome
living words
from the Rock, the Rock of life

Our House Shook Today
Cross of Life, Kelly Jadon, 2022
our house shook today
because we knew that something must be done
to alter the outcome
to stop the killing
to save the children
before our children became weapons of war
there was a way in which we went
all those who called the cross of Christ correct
began America’s early colonial schools
and opened them
to the public
begun with God
in prayer, in the Word
continued well until
a fight broke out within the house
the holy house of God
peace left the schools that day
with the Word
and tumult came tumbling after
push out the prayer
cast out commandments
begin a philosophy of earth’s beginnings
disrespect dominated
not one, but three generations
so nearly now removed
Lord Jesus is unknown
His ways, His Word, His peace
heaping hallways instead
with curses
and evil unspeakable
out of the heart come evils (Matt 15:19)
which have filled the place
of God’s Word
the Words of life (John 6:63)—
leaving only death to rule
