Christmas Tree Picking

Probably one of the more nostalgic things in my life. Going to the lot to pick up a Christmas tree.

We weren’t going to keep sticking a pine tree in our house and putting lights all over the place any more if we didn’t have a clear reason for doing so. So, for my family, the tree reminds us of the cross that Jesus died on to take the judgement for His people’s sins. The lights remind us that Jesus is the light of the world. The gifts remind us of the greatest gift of all in Jesus coming to live perfectly, take his people’s punishment unto death, and rise from the grave for the salvation of his people.

Merry Christmas.
