Chrisitan Fish Jewelry

>> Friday, November 6, 2009

Christian fish jewelry has long been popular amongst Christians of all denominations. The fish symbolizes the moral practicality that Jesus preached during his short time on Earth. While only walking amongst us for thirty-three short years Christ left a profound influence on every man, woman, and child that he came in contact with. His message of love and peace were profoundly influencing in shaping countless lives and the tradition continues to this very day. Other than the cross few items symbolize the positive impact that Jesus had on humanity better than the Christian fish. Often worn as jewelry today the Christian fish is an emblem that reminds us that Christ was a man with a message and those messages often were taught in ways that leave a lasting impression through stories that were recording in the Holy Bible and passed down for generations. The key to salvation is accepting Jesus into your heart and allowing him to wash you clean of your sins. In order to be truly saved you must sincerely believe in your heart that Jesus is the king of men and only welcoming him into your heart will wash you free of your sins and secure your place in the kingdom of God. The scripture tells us that our God is a loving and forgiving God.
Many newer Christians may not be familiar with the story of the why Christian Fish Jewelry is as popular as it is today. Amongst all the other keepsakes, necklaces, pendants, rings, and all other adorning accessories the fish symbol is one unique to the Christian faith.

Maybe you've heard that Jesus referred to as a fisherman of men. There's not surprisingly a story behind how He earned that title. It's a fitting classic moniker that is as true today as it was in ancient times approximately two thousand years ago. During the time Jesus Christ spent on Earth he performed many miracles including turning water into wine, walking on water, healing the sick, and resurrecting from the dead three days after his crucifixion. One of the notable things that he did in his day was famously state, "If you give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, if you teach a man to fish he'll eat for a lifetime." With this famous quote Christ spoke to his generosity, teaching, and sensibility when it came to feeding the hungry. The message was clear that empowerment was achieved through education and accountability. Those looking for a handout would constantly be condemned to a life of always wondering where their next meal would come from. However, those fortunate enough to learn a trade like fishing would be able to provide for their family for all of time. This saying about teaching a man to fish has been translated into many different languages and can be applied to any topic in our modern lives. The preachings of Jesus were as true in his day as they are in ours.

Jesus was called the fisherman of men because of the way that he brought people together and harvested their souls for good the way a fisherman catches fish in a net. The masses were attracted to Christ's loving ways and the simple emblem of a fish depicted above in both gold and silver has been used to symbolize this promise that Christ will continue to be our one true Lord and savior throughout time. It is in his name that we find happiness and hope. Without his light we are in the dark. Christian fish jewelry has been particularly popular amongst the youth culture that are looking for a brighter for loving symbol of their faith than the traditional cross. The fish symbol representing life and nourishment and reminds of us the good that God's son did while on Earth. The story of the Christian fish may be an old one but it certainly is not one that will be going away any time soon. John 3:16 reminds us that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Keep this bible verse close to your hear and remember the story of Jesus teaching men to fish and in doing so giving them life the next time you see Christian fish jewelry of any kind.
