The Candy Cane

A candy cane is more meaningful than just a sweet at Christmas...

It can remind us of Jesus.

Its shape is like a shepherd's staff.

Its wide red stripes remind us that Jesus shed his blood for our sins.
Its narrow red stripes reminds us that "by His stripe we are
healed." (Isaiah 53:5).

Its white stripes stands for purity - by his death we were made pure.
The peppermint flavor is similar to hyssop, which was used in Biblical
times for purification. (Psalms 51:7)

Its taste is sweet, as it is sweet to walk with Jesus.
Turn the candy cane upside down -- it becomes "J" for Jesus.

Let's keep this in mind, as well as the other manufactured things, that bring Him back into our 'daily' lives.

Thanks for the post, Red Dawg.
