WHICH WAY ARE WE GOING?
The extended index finger pointing toward heaven is a common expression of our heavenward pilgrimage. This symbol was used frequently by a Presbyterian pastor in Port Gibson, Mississippi. After his death, the worshippers at First Presbyterian Church of Port Gibson erected a steeple in his honor. Instead of putting a cross atop the steeple, they placed a bronze cast of a hand with the index finger pointing upward toward heaven. Adapted from 365 Fascinating Facts About Jesus, by Robert J.
