Day 2: The Christmas Tree

During the seventh century, an English missionary named Saint Boniface, came across some men offering sacrifices to an oak tree. Angered by their sin, Saint Boniface cut down the tree with one swing of his ax. Years later, from the tree stump, a pine tree began to grow. Saint Boniface used this as an example of Jesus’ victory over death and the eternal life we have through Him. Have you ever noticed that a pine tree always points toward heaven?

 1 Peter 2:24 says, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness.”

Jesus died on the cross so that each one us can have everlasting life. 

Takeaway: Spend some time looking at your Christmas tree and see what others ways the tree reminds you of Jesus.
