Lesson Notes:
Here are a list of scripture references to include to back up the truth of these clams about Christ.
🐑The candy cane is shaped like a shepherds staff:
Luke 2:10-12 - "And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
John 10:11 - " I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."
Psalm 100:3 - "Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture."
J - The Candy Cane Upside down makes a 'J':
Matthew 1:21 - "She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
⬜The White base of the Candy Cane:
Hebrews 4:15 - "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin."
Isaiah 1:18 - "“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool."
🟥The Red Stripes of the Candy Cane:
Isaiah 53:5 - "But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed."
John 19:1 - "Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him."
Matthew 26:28 - "For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
🧱The hard texture of the Candy Cane:
Luke 6:48 - "he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built."
Ephesians 2:20 - "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone."
1 Peter 2:6 - “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
