As we are celebrating this Christmas Season, I encourage you to meditate on the great gift that GOD has given us!!! What is that great gift? I am glad you asked.
That great gift is the Birth of JESUS CHRIST, our SAVIOR!!! JESUS CHRIST was born here on earth to come and tell us the good news of SALVATION!!! How if we believe in HIM and follow HIS teachings, then we have the right to the tree of LIFE forever in HEAVEN!!!
I would like to share the Candy Cane Story:
The Candy Cane Story
A candy cane maker wanted to make a candy that would be a witness for his SAVIOR, 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. The white symbolizes the Virgin Birth (Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:26-35) and the sinless nature of JESUS (I John 3:5). The hardness of the candy symbolizes the Solid Rock (I Corinthians 10:4), the FOUNDATION of the Church (Matthew 16:18), and the firmness of the promises of GOD (Psalms 18:30-32). The candy maker made the candy into the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of JESUS, who came to earth as our SAVIOR (John 3:16-17), and a symbol to represent the staff of the GOOD SHEPHERD (John 10:14). Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candy maker decided to stain it with three small red stripes, representing the stripes of the scourging JESUS received prior to HIS crucifixion (Mark 15:15-20) for our healing (Isaiah 53:5). The large red stripe represents the shedding of HIS BLOOD on the Cross for our Salavation (Romans 5:9 Ephesians 1:7). Unfortunately, the Candy Cane has lost its traditional meaning and become just a decoration seen only at Christmas time.

The Scripture Candy, Inc. pray that this traditional symbols will again be used as a witness for the Glory and Honor of our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.
