The Alliance Emblem
The Christian and Missionary Alliance symbols of the cross, laver, pitcher and crown represent to us the fullness of Christ’s life to us as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King.
The cross speaks of Christ’s death as the only sacrifice for our sins. To know Christ as Savior, we must admit we have sinned and accept Christ into our heart.
The laver represents sanctification, the cleansing power which Christ will give to every believer who will seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
The pitcher of anointing oil reminds us that Christ provides not only healing for our souls, but also for the afflictions of the mind and body.
The crown symbolizes Christ’s promise to return to earth and reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
