The legend of the candy cane

The Legend of the Candy Cane

Many years ago, a candymaker wanted to make a candy at Christmas time that would serve as a witness to his Christian faith. He wanted to incorporate several symbols for the birth, ministry and death of Jesus.

He began with a stick of pure white hard candy. The white symbolized the virgin birth and the sinless life of Jesus.

He made the candy hard to symbolize the that Jesus is the solid rock and the foundation of the church. The firmness also represents the promises of God.

The candy maker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. He thought it could also represent the staff of Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

The candy maker then added red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received, by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could be forgiven and have the promise of eternal life.

The flavor of mint is similar to hyssop. In Old Testament times, hyssop was associated with purification and sacrifice. It was also used at the cross as they gave Jesus a drink of vinegar before He gave up the Ghost.

Christmas Celebration Service...December 25th

• Christmas can be a joyous time to be with friends and family in celebration of God’s goodness and provision throughout the year. But for many people around us, Christmas has become merely a cultural holiday and a celebration of materialism.

  Our Church desire is to help you Share the Good News of Christmas with your loved ones and friends who have not embraced the gospel, and invite them to fellowship with our church family for our Celebration Christmas Combined Service on the 25th December at 10.30am.
  

• Our hope is that this Christmas would be a time when people around us who have no understanding of who Jesus is would discover the real reason for joy at Christmas.

• Bring someone along this Christmas and let them share the love of Jesus with us. Jesus is the real reason for this season!
