This month on the blog, we’ll be looking at the symbols of Christmas and how they remind us about Biblical truths.
I’m not one for winter weather, yet there is so much to love about this time of year! As Christmas draws nearer, I see reminders of God’s love everywhere.
My heart is filled with joy, hope, and even nostalgia when I see the traditional Christmas motifs of stars, wreaths, candles, angels, and so on. God often pricks my heart at the sight of an item and then points me to Him.
Symbols of Christmas
The symbols are all around! I see a star on a Christmas card and think of the star that led the way to the babe in a manger. An angel tree-topper makes me wonder what the herald angels sounded like. The candle on my mantle makes my heart bow in worship to the True Light for Everyone! (John 1:9)
Yes, I know. Christmas has been highly commercialized, but I believe that even though the world may not care to admit it, the holiday (holy-day) still centers largely on Him. The emblems that symbolism Christmas testify to that. And after all, those of us who are Believers know that Jesus’ birth is the true “reason for the season.” Praise God!
So all this month here on the blog, we’ll look at various things that serve as Symbols of Christmas and we’ll discuss why we find them particularly meaningful. We’ll also look to see what they can remind us about Biblical truths.
We hope you’ll join us! And we hope that as you’re out doing your shopping, or in decorating, or traveling to visit with loved ones, you’ll see these physical reminders and your spirit will draw near our Lord in worship.
What is your favorite “symbol” of Christmas? Why? And what Biblical truth does it remind you of?
