Dec. 16th - a tree- Galatians 3:13
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-- for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE "--"
When we see Christmas trees we
usually notice the lights and ornaments, but this Christmas may they remind us
of so much more! May they remind us of the sacrifice Jesus made giving
His life as He was nailed to a tree - the cross. No, His life was not
taken from Him; it was freely given because of His love for us! (John 10:18)
If you are feeling unloved this
Christmas, may every Christmas tree remind you of the Cross of Christ and the
price He paid because of His love for you. May the lights remind you that
the Light of the World came to show us the way back home to the Father.
May the round ornaments remind us of His never ending love for us. May
the red decorations remind us of His blood shed as the price to pay for our
sin; may the green of the tree be a reminder of the new life
offered by Him.! (John 10:10; John 3:16-18)
Let this Christmas devotion focused
on a tree remind us that the Christ Child did not remain a baby, but grew into
the perfect sinless Son of God dwelling in flesh and taking the wrath and
punishment of God on our behalf, surrendering His life, but then by the power
of the One True God arose to life again that we may find new life in Him!
The Cross was the first real
Christmas tree...bearing God's greatest Gift - Jesus!
Sometimes a story can touch deeper
than mere words. Having been a school librarian, I have many favorite
stories! One of the top ones though is about three trees and God's gift
of grace - The
Tale of Three Trees.
