The Old Rugged Cross: It Is Finished Pendant (without chain)

"V’Nishlam"

Introducing "The Old Rugged Cross: It Is Finished" pendant, a timeless symbol representing the cross of Christ and His ultimate sacrifice. When Jesus breathed His last breath, darkness covered the sky, and the veil that separated us from the Father was torn in two, signifying our complete access to God through the blood of the righteous Lamb of God, Jesus. The need for a human high priest was abolished, for Jesus Himself became our eternal High Priest.

Rest assured, for it is finished! Jesus accomplished what no other sacrifice could achieve. This pendant is inspired by His final words on the cross, "It is finished." In that moment, He breathed His last breath, paying the penalty for sin and redeeming His people. What a beautiful and perfect sacrifice it was!

Drawing inspiration from the timeless hymn "The Old Rugged Cross" by George Bennard, we are reminded of the profound message it carries. The hymn speaks of the rugged cross as a symbol of suffering and shame, but also of redemption and hope. It reflects on the immense love displayed on the cross and the life-changing power of Jesus' sacrifice.

Reflecting upon Philippians 2:6-8, we are reminded of the incredible humility and obedience of Jesus. Though He was in the very nature of God, He chose not to cling to His divine privileges but instead made Himself nothing, taking on the form of a servant and being made in human likeness. He willingly humbled Himself, even to the point of death—death on a cross.

Through the words and sacrifice of our Savior, our eternal destiny was forever altered. We were granted full access to our Heavenly Father, experiencing complete restoration. The certificate of debt, consisting of all our sins, was marked "paid in full" once and for all. Jesus' sacrifice on the cross accomplished what no human effort ever could. It reconciled us to God, bridging the gap that sin had created.

The "The Old Rugged Cross: It is Finished" pendant serves as a constant reminder of the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice and the depths of His love for us. It symbolizes the victory over sin and death, and the restoration of our relationship with God. Just as the hymn proclaims, we find solace and hope in the old rugged cross, where Jesus paid it all.

May this pendant draw you into deeper contemplation of the immense love displayed on the cross. May it remind you of the freedom and forgiveness that Jesus secured for us through His sacrifice. Let it be a conversation starter, an opportunity to share the good news of the Gospel, and a symbol that points others to the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Core verses of inspiration for this pendant include:
- John 19:30: "When he had received the drink, Jesus said, 'It is finished.' With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
- Hebrews 10:14: "For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy."
- Colossians 2:13-14: "When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross."

As you wear this pendant, may the lyrics of "The Old Rugged Cross" resonate in your heart:
"So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown."

Let the message of the cross fill you with gratitude, hope, and the assurance of eternal life found in Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.

This design is carefully crafted from quality metals. Due to the custom nature of each piece, no piece is exactly the same and will have slight rustic characteristics.

Rings: Size variations are purposefully set due to lettering length constraints. We cannot make the rings smaller than what's offered.

Pendants: All pendants come with two options -- pendant only or pendant plus a chain in the same high quality metal as the pendant.

*************************************

{METAL VARIATIONS}
All pieces are custom made and therefore made-to-order
in four different metal variations: sterling silver, 14K rose gold, 14K
yellow gold, and 14K white gold.

{SIZE & FIT}
Rings:
Please know your ring size.
Our rings typically fit sightly smaller than true-to-size. As a result, if you're between a half size, order the higher half size. For example, if your wedding band measures as a size 7, but it's fairly tight, order a size 7.5.
This is not the case with the infinity bands. The infinity bands are true to size.
To measure your ring size, visit your local jewelry store.

Pendants:
Please know your preferred chain length if ordering the "with chain" option.
Most individuals with smaller builds (typically women) will wear a 16 or 18 inch chain, and typically individuals with larger builds will wear a 20 or 24 inch chain.  

To get a more accurate assessment of your preferred chain length, visit your local jewelry store.
