Description:
Content: Inspiration from art teacher Kwok. Olives are crushed and pressed through the curing process to produce olive oil. Olives are crushed and pressed to extract the impurities of vegetative extract liquid and solid material. Olive oil, which symbolizes purity, is monounsaturated and can act as antioxidants. Like many believers, we are being crushed and pressed especially in our infant days until we grow up into matured Christians to be used for God’s purposes. Jesus used olive oil for healing the sick and anointing disciples.
Ps 141:5 …It shall be as excellent oil; Let my head not refuse it.
Background: The olive tree has been important in the Holy Land for so long that many place-names indicate the presence of olive groves, olive-presses or something to do with the oil.
