Faith Filled Friday and Candy Cane Evangelism

12/8/2017

Don't you just love the Christmas season? The twinkle lights, the Christmas ornaments, the carols playing on the radio -- everything points to Jesus right now.

This is most wonderful time of the year --- the perfect platform for sharing the Good News. 

This week, we wanted to share an easy peasy way to share the Gospel with your coworkers and neighbors.  Buy a box of candy canes and attach a note that explains how the red and white sugary treat is a picture of the Savior's love for us.  

  • The upside-down candy cane forms the letter J, which stands for Jesus.
  • The red stripes stand for the blood He shed for our sins. By His stripes we are healed.
  • The white stripes symbolize the purity of Christ, our sinless Savior, who offered up His life to pay for our sins.  When we ask Him to forgive us and accept His gift of salvation, He washes away our sins and makes us white as snow.
  • When you turn the candy cane right side up, the crook is the same shape as a shepherd's staff.  Christ followers are sheep in His pasture. He will lead us and safely guide us all the days of our lives.  
  • This red and white sugary treat can take a long time to eat.  This is a reminder to spend time with Jesus -- because life will grow sweeter and sweeter as we spend time with our Savior.

This week pray about who you can share this story with to get the Word out at Christmas.

We exist to glorify God, to display His heart and character. And I just love how we are all uniquely built to do that. So every Friday I want to give you, uniquely designed by God, an opportunity to link up your thoughts on God, art, baking, photography, parenting, marriage, homeschooling, writing or blogging and more if they tie into or display the Lord somehow. 


​Here's how it works:

1. Link up as many blog posts as you want below by clicking the link below and following the prompts. (Perhaps think of old posts you want more exposure to as well as new ones.)

2. Let your readers know by including a link at the bottom of your post (or somewhere on your side bar) or paste our button code (found below and on the side bar).

3. Take a minute to visit and comment on another sweet lady or two's post. Your encouragement might be just what she needs to keep pressing on in being a voice in the darkness.

This post makes my heart so happy! I used a format similar to this a few years ago at the end of our church's Christmas program. We had a lot of kids and parents as a "captive" audience, and I couldn't think of a better way to share the gospel in its entirety with a seasonal twist.
Blessings to you!

I must remember to talk to my grandkids about the candy cane. What a simple way to share the gospel. I had almost forgotten about it. Hope you're both having a blessed Christmas season!

This is such a great way to witness to those people in our lives who might be hard to talk to. I love it!

Such a simple yet powerful way to share. I especially like this idea to give to classmates or teammates of our children!
