Merry Christmas! One of the foremost symbols of the season is the Christmas tree. Traditionally, the evergreen tree represents eternal life. Imagine the center of the tree, stripped of its branches – a bare, vertical trunk. Then take one of the middle branches creating a cross. The Christmas tree symbolizes everything that happens at the Cross of Jesus Christ. Tree branches not smooth but rugged. The smell of the tree like incense rising to God pleased with the perfect sacrifice of his Son. At the foot of the tree we exchange gifts. Trees are decorated with colorful and creative beauty. Why? Because on a tree God hung his greatest gift and offered it to us. Share that with a friend today. I’m Danny Yamashiro believing God will use you to lead someone closer to Jesus today.
