Candy Cane

According to the legend, there was a candy maker who wanted to invent a candy that was a witness to Christ.

The result was the candy cane.  First of all he used a hard candy because Christ is the Rock of all ages.  This hard candy was shaped so that it would resemble either a “J” for Jesus or a shepherd’s staff.  He made it white to represent the Purity of Christ.

Finally a red stripe was added to represent the blood of Christ shed for the sins of the world and three thinner stripes for the stripes He received on our behalf when the Roman soldiers whipped Him.

So the next time you see a candy cane, hear the Sermon it preaches: Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, is the Rock of all Ages who suffered and died for our sins.
