An interesting image appeared after a fire destroyed the Balsora Baptist Church in Bridgeport, Texas on Friday, June 17, 2022, Breitbart reports.

After the fire had utterly consumed the church building, the cross located in the sanctuary remained standing, overlooking the still smoking, charred remains of the church building.

Even the town’s fire department noted the unusual event, stating:

“The fire took the structure, but not the cross. A symbol that the building was just that, a building. The Church is the congregation, and where 2 or more gather, there He shall be also.”

It is a reminder that the church is the people and their faith, not a building.
