THE STORY OF THE CANDY CANE

EACH OF THE STRIPES AND THE COLORS

HAVE MEANING!

The candy Cane is in the shape of a shepherd’s staff. Jesus

is the shepherd

who gave himself

for the sheep, who are the

sheep?

Sheep get lost from the shepherd and often times get

into trouble.

Sheep tend to go their own way, they need to be kept safe.

We go our own way too. Each person needs the Savior.

Rom. 3:23

The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which is lost.

Luke 19v10

Turned over the candy cane is like a “J” for: JESUS!

The Candy Cane is “hard candy.”

It is made of hard candy to remind us that

Jesus is the ROCK that we are to build our lives on.

HOW?

He is strong and His word cannot be broken. He will and does keep his word. He cannot

lie.

The wide red stripes

representthe blood that Jesus shed on

the cross.

The white stripes on the candy cane

represent his sinless life.

He is pure and holy.

1 Pet. 2:22

The narrow red stripes remind us about the

stripes, or scars which he got when he was whipped and

beaten.Isa. 53:5

When we break the candy cane

it is a reminder

that Jesus’ was broken in heart and

made sin for us.

Candy canes are meant to be shared!

God shared his love with us!

ROMANS 6:23
