Church Sign - 11/9/2008

Church: Rocky Hill Baptist Church (7409 S Northshore Dr; Knoxville, TN 37919)

Sign: “The Key to Heaven Is Hung on a Nail!”

Commentary: This sign reminds its readers of the cost paid for the believers' admittance into heaven: namely Jesus being nailed to the cross. The nails used to embed Jesus to the cross are not specifically mentioned in the accounts of his crucifixion, but they are referenced when Thomas vows not to believe until he has seen the damage they caused.

So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." (John 20:25, NASB)
