So I drew a white cross to show the holiness that Jesus had and a calm light blue circle around Him to show that in Him you find peace and rest. He also has the golden yellow aurora to show perfection. There was brown thorns coming out to show His power and authority. It was all put in a box with four different bright colors to show joy and unity the Christ brings. Around the square there was shattered glass in red and purple to show destruction and hate. But around it, in orange and yellow, to show that God's power is great enough to control even that. Every thing out side of it is dark because of the death that life has with out Christ.
