The Perfect Gift
A candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness, so he made the Christmas
Candy Cane.
He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ.
He began with a stick of pure white hard candy: white to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature
of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the solid rock, the Foundation of the Church and firmness of the
promises of God.
The candy maker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior.
It could also represent the staff of the Good Shepherd with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray.
Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candy maker stained it with red stripes.
He used three small stripes for the blood shed by Christ on the cross, so that we could have the promise of eternal life.
Unfortunately, the candy became known as the Candy Cane - a meaningless decoration seen at Christmas time.
But the meaning is still there for all those who have "eyes to see and ears to hear".
We pray this symbol will again be used to witness to the wonder of Jesus and His great love that came down at Christmas.
I have preached and will no doubt, preach again a message titled; Wise men still seek Him.
Mt 2:1
Luke 2:
Let’s Look at a Man Named Simeon
The way I see it Simeon was a wise man himself
We read a little about him in Luke chapter 2 verses 22-34
I have often thought about how he must have felt.
You know he had to ask God to show him, Who it was that the scriptures prophesies will come.
After all he had read the scriptures:
Gen 3:
Isa 9:
Just like the story of the candy cane, that has been taken for granite for so long that it has almost lost its meaning.
If you will pattern after the wise men and seek after the Lord.
The Holy Ghost will reveal Him unto you.
Scripture says, to seek Him while He may be found.
