The NSP Rooster

The rooster is the symbol of Peter's denial of Christ. The old St. Peter, in weakness, denied Christ. The new St. Peter, by the grace of God, was restored by Christ. We are all doubters and deniers, even Christians, and we must never forget who we are. In our logo there is also an image depicting our hope. The crowing rooster is clutching in its talons a cross, the symbol of our redemption. Because Jesus Christ has died as if he were the worst of doubters, the worst of deniers, we are called to leave our many treasons, to believe in the work of Christ's redemption, and cling to it (Matt. 16.13-20). We must never forget what Christ has done for us. Poor old, bumbling Peter...made new by the grace of the cross. Poor old, bumbling us...we need the same.
