Have you ever seen the Sherwin Williams paint logo?
I was following a Sherwin Williams paint truck the other day
and as I studied their logo (as a Graphic Designer that is the sort of thing I
do), I started to see the gospel in it.
In the logo, the earth represents the earth and the red
paint represents the blood of Christ. The paint is even red, how fitting is
that?
Let's say that Jerusalem is where the paint starts being
poured. Just like Christianity the paint continues to spread across the earth
until the whole earth is covered. As the Gospel is being spread throughout the
world and the Kingdom of God advances more and more people enter into the body
and are covered by the blood of Christ.
Jesus came to this earth to pay our debt owed, a payment
that required blood and death. Because that sacrifice was perfect our sins are
now covered. Jesus didn't stop at paying our debt though, He rose from the
grave and conquered death and now anyone that believes given new life. Jesus
paid my debt, covered my sins, gave me new life and now it is His blood that
protects and seals my salvation.
So as I think about the SWP logo it reads "Cover the
Earth" but I see "Cover the Earth with the Blood of Christ"
Romans 4:7 "Blessed
are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
