> CANDY CANE
>
> The candy cane has long been a Christmas tradition and was said to have
> been the creation of a fine Christian candy maker in Indiana. Its sweet
> peppermint taste has been enjoyed by young and old for years.
>
> The candy maker started with pure white candy to symbolize Jesus'
> innocence (Heb 4:15) and the holiness of the sinless son of God (1 John
> 1:7).
>
> The white also shows the virgin birth of Jesus: "The virgin will be with
> child and will give birth to a son..." (Matt 1:23).
>
> He made the candy hard because the church is built on solid rock and
> God's promises are a firm foundation (Matt 16:18, 1Thess 5:24), and that
> Jesus is like a "rock", strong and dependable. (Psalm 31:3).
>
> Next the candy maker made the candy in the shape of a 'J' for the name
> of Jesus who came to earth as our Savior (Matt 1:21, Acts 4:12).  When
> the candy was turned upside down, it is the shape of the Good Shepherd's
> staff (John 10:11). "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down
> his life for the sheep".
>
> Finally he stained the candy with red stripes. The color red symbolizes
> God's love that sent Jesus to give His life for us on the cross (John 
> 3:16).
>
> The large red stripe is for the blood Jesus shed for our sins on the
> cross (Eph 1:7). "In him we have redemption through His blood, the
> forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace." The
> smaller stripes remind of Jesus' suffering and our redemptive healing
> (John 19: 1-30).
>
>  So this Christmas when you and your family hang candy canes on your
> tree remember that they're not just candy canes. Instead they are a
> symbol of the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior Jesus
> Christ.
