The jasper stone helps us understand the light of the New Jerusalem. It highlights Salvation, which is seen in the bands of color found in the jasper wall. Jasper also illustrates the altar of sacrifice in the miracle pictures. The red part of the stone represents the earth, while the crystal part of the stone represents Heaven.
