Discover a symbolic meaning for each of the wire colors!
Everyday objects can carry very special symbolism. |
Christians often find special symbolism in many simple everyday objects, such as the outline of a fish.
We can even find a special symbolism in the simple colors of wires in a telephone cable!
Beyond the technical relevance of the wire colors, each color can symbolize something much more significant to Christians.Different people have different interpretations, but here are mine:

email sharing your thoughts on the Christian symbolism of the
wire colors. |

| You also might be asking "Why do you have this on your
web site? Do you think you are better than other people?"
No, completely the opposite. I'm a sinner, just like everyone
else, but I am among the many who have accepted the gift of
salvation and feel it is part of my responsibility to share that
gift with as many people as possible. I have found a poem that
expresses exactly how I feel: When I say, "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!" I'm whispering, "I get lost! That's why I chose this way" When I say, "I am a Christian" I don't speak with human pride I'm confessing that I stumble- Needing God to be my guide When I say, "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong I'm professing that I'm weak And pray for strength to carry on When I say, "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success I'm admitting that I've failed And cannot ever pay the debt When I say, "I am a Christian" I don't think I know it all I submit to my confusion Asking humbly to be taught When I say, "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect My flaws are all too visible But God believes I'm worth it When I say, "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain I have my share of heartache, Which is why I seek His name When I say, "I am a Christian" I do not wish to judge I have no authority...
