The Wordless Book
What is it?
This "book" usually has pages, but it can also be a single picture or a banner. It helps explain Christian beliefs in a simple way, especially to children. It's a way to share a message without needing to read many words.
The Meaning of the Colors
The Wordless Book uses a few main colors. Each color helps explain a part of the Christian message. Charles Spurgeon's original idea used three colors: black, red, and white.
Black: Understanding Sin
The black page often stands for the "sinful state" of people. This means the bad choices or mistakes everyone makes. It reminds us that everyone sometimes does things that are not right. This color helps explain why people need help from God.
Red: Jesus' Sacrifice
The red page represents the blood of Jesus. Christians believe Jesus died on a cross to take away people's sins. This color shows the love and sacrifice Jesus made for everyone. It's a reminder of his great gift.
White: God's Forgiveness
The white page shows the "perfect righteousness" God gives to people who believe in Jesus. It means being made clean and forgiven. This color represents new beginnings and a pure heart that God gives to those who trust Him.
