The symbol for the eighth chapter of Thy Kingdom Come depicts God sending His people out in mission. The top half of the symbol shows and open book, representing the Word of God open to the world in Jesus. It is through the work of the Holy Spirit (this very living, active word of God) that the salvation given by Jesus if accessible to mankind. The bottom half of the image contains three arrows, showing how the mission of God's people on earth, the Church, is to share this Word of God revealed in Jesus to a thirsty and despairing world. Thanks be to God that, through trial, tribulation, and triumph that early Church carried the Scriptures and the hope of the Good News of Jesus to the Church today.
