trees and salvation

December 24, 2006

God seems to have this thing for trees.

In Genesis and Revelation God informs us of the “tree of life“.
In Luke we learn that baby Jesus was laid in a manger.
In Matthew and Mark we learn that Jesus was a carpenter.
In the 4 gospels we learned that Jesus ate his last meal at a table.
In the 4 gospels we read where Jesus was nailed to a cross.

Trees are every where … even on Michigan Ave. in Chicago.
So each time you see a tree … whether it’s a Christmas tree in December … an apple blossom tree in May … or an oak tree in July … remember that God loved you so much that He sent His Son to die on a tree for your salvation.

“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2: 24

Merry Christmas !
