A
candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness, so he
made The Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols for the birth,
ministry, and death of Jesus Christ.
He
began with a stick of pure white hard candy.
White;
to symbolize the solid rock, the foundation of the church, and the firmness of
the promises of God.
The
candymaker made the candy in the form of a “J” to represent the precious name
of Jesus, who came to earth as our savior. It could also represent the staff of
the “Good Shepherd” with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to
lift out fallen lambs who, like all sheep have gone astray.
Thinking
that the candy was somewhat plain, the candymaker stained it with red stripes.
He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received
by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ
on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.
Unfortunately,
the candy cane became known as a Candy Cane, a meaningless decoration seen at
Christmas time. However, the meaning is still there for those who “have eyes to
see and ears to hear.”
Pray That This Symbol Will
Again Be Used To Witness To The Wonder Of Jesus And His Great Love That Came
Down At Christmas And Remains The Ultimate And Dominate Force In The Universe
