Evergreen, Everlasting Life
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.—John 3:16 (NIV)
The Christmas tree , with its evergreen branches, symbolizes everlasting life, reminding us of the ultimate gift that God has given us through His Son. As we celebrate the season and gather around the tree, reflect on the gift of eternal life that we can receive when we put our faith in Him.
Heavenly Father, may my Christmas tree serve as a constant reminder of Your love and the everlasting life that You offer to all who believe.
