I tried to think of a historic symbol to
paint that would, in my opinion, epitomize the police officer of today.
The one I chose is a Crusader, holding the flag with the symbol of his
mission, the Cross. Nothing said it better, and nothing could say it
better today. The ultimate Peacemaker was the very Son of God who
allowed Himself to be hung on a cross to make peace between two isolated
parties. Do you know who those were? God was one, and you and I were the
other! Christ brought us together and made peace between us. Isn’t
that what police officers imitate every time they are confronted with a
lawbreaker? Ultimately, I believe it is, and once again our example
comes from the greatest who ever lived, Jesus Christ!
