Have you ever heard the song: Mary Did You Know? My brother and youth did a skit to the song.

The Legend of the Candy Cane
I am not sure if you all have heard the legend of the candy cane. But here it is...
According to the legend, there was candy maker who wanted to invent a candy that was a witness to Christ.
The result was the candy cane. First of all he used a hard candy because Christ was the Rock of all ages. This hard candy was shaped s that it would resemble either a "J" for Jesus or a shepherd's staff. He made it white to represent the Purity of Christ. Finally a red stripe was added to represent the blood of Christ shed for the sins of the world and three thinner stripes for the stripes He received on our behalf when the Roman soldiers whipped Him.
So the next time you see a candy cane, hear the Sermon it preaches: Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, is the Rock of all Ages who suffered and died for our sins.
I got that from my Wednesday night church teacher.
It is so wonderful that that man made the Candy Cane. But one thing is that (most likely) some people don't know.
Jesus Christ died for OUR sins. He did it so that we could be with Him when we die. He was mocked, spit on, whipped, they put a crown of thorns on His head and nailed Him to a cross. If you would just think about this, what He did for you and me. He did so much for us. This Christmas let's really think about what He did. How much He has blessed us and how powerful He is. One day He will come back for His people. Let's be ready to go home and be with the Lord.
Merry Christmas!!!!
And let's focus on God instead of the presents!!
