The Provision
This saddle is designed to show God's provision for mankind by showing us the sacrifice the Lord Jesus made for us.
The domestic rose has been chosen to represent Jesus. On the fenders you will find the rose coiled around a basket stamped column. This is based on Numbers 21:8-9 Jesus said, " As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so shall the son of man be lifted up." This is the healing received from Jesus who was crucified for us. On the rear jockies, you will find the olive branch on each side of the rose. This is based on Zech. 4:1-6. " Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit says the Lord." The rose represents the lampstand. The lampstand is Jesus in the book of Revelations. In the front of the seat, there is a rose that appears to part the seat. This represents the curtain in the temple that separated mankind from the Holy of Holies. Matthew 27:51 and Mark 15:38.
In summary, the message on this saddle shows the healing we have by gazing on the cross, joined with the access we have to the Father because of the removal of the veil to the Holy of Holies, by the great high priest, Jesus. All this is done not by anything we do, but by the Spirit of God that draws us to the cross.
