31 Days to Christmas Day 3: The Wreath

The Holly Wreath

The Holly Wreath symbolizes

The crown of thorns worn by Jesus at Calvary.

The red berries represent

The blood He shed for the forgiveness of our sins.

The endless circle is

Eternal life through Him.

It’s amazing how year after year, we celebrate Christmas, Easter, Christmas, Easter, Christmas, Easter.  But how often do we connect the two?  And yet, they are so interwoven that the question should be how could we not connect the two?  If there were no resurrection, there would be no Christmas.  If there were no birth, there would be no Easter.  So this Christmas, as you look at the wreath, thank God for being willing to send His Son, not just to be born, but to die.  For you.
