but definitely much needed.
I am scared.....
but I know that Jesus will be with me the whole way.
Yeah, that was just for me.
Now here's something for you that I learned in AWANA this week :)
(I learn so much from Children's Ministry, its crazy)
Did you guys know the Christmas tree is a symbol of Jesus?!! Whaaaaat?
When people are hanged on a tree, it's a symbol of shame.
Jesus died on the cross (made from a tree) and bore all of our sins in SHAME.. FOR US...
Usually, christmas trees are evergreen trees which represents the eternal life God has in store & before electricity, people would hang candles in the tree instead of Christmas lights. (i know, quite hazardous). The lights represent the light that Jesus is in this ugly dark world of sin.
I had no idea.....
This got me thinking... how come I didn't know that the Christmas tree represented Jesus. When I thought of a Christmas tree, the 1st thing that would pop into my head was the presents under it, the pretty decorations, and the warm fuzzy feeling you get staring at it. This is because........we taint anything that is a symbol of our Lord with our selfish desires. Christmas is no longer a time where we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It has become a time of greed and WANT WANT WANT.
geez, we suck.
