Making a nest in a crown of thorns, a sparrow unites with his spirit and spreads his wings broadly to fly. A field of red behind the bird offers a ground from which to ascend. Taylor references the doctrine of resurrection; through the grace of the Savior’s Atonement, those who die will live again. Resurrection is a gift offered to all, even the smallest sparrow among us.
“Jesus Christ . . . paid the price for each of us.”
