The Story Of The Candy Cane
It had to be special to be a gift for the King of Kings.
Not just any piece of candy would do.
It had to be hard candy because the church is built on solid rock,
and God's promises are a firm foundation.
It would be formed in the shape of the Good Shepherd's staff.
A "J" that would also stand for the precious name Jesus.
White stripes symbolized the virgin birth and sinless nature of Christ.
Three small red stripes would represent the scourging Jesus suffered
on his way to the cross. One large red stripe would remind those with eyes
to see, and ears to hear of the blood
Jesus shed as payment for our sins.
It would be a gift of love that would tell His story
The greatest story ever told.
