Matthew 10:22–23 Reminds us of the reality of Persecuted Christians around the World.
Matthew 10:22-You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Matthew 10:23-When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray right now for our brothers and sisters, your sons and daughters, our family in these countries. In places in the world where they are being persecuted for their faith in you. God, we pray for your strength for them. We pray for your help for them. Lord, we pray that you would uphold them with your righteous right hand. We pray that you would give them boldness to follow you and to proclaim you even at great costs. God, as we pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters and as we pray in our own lives, we say if we’re to be among that number, then we say, yes, Lord, we want to follow you. We want to proclaim you no matter what it costs us in this world. So help us all to do so faithfully all the way to the end. Help us to endure faithfully following you as disciples and making disciples of all the nations. In Jesus’ name we Pray. Amen.

The Christmas tree is symbolic of birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The tree's branches and shrubs are viewed as an emblem of immortality. The evergreen is the traditional Christmas tree. Its branches and triangular shape point heavenward, and its needles remain “ever green” all year to remind us of eternal life symbolized in the Tree of life. The custom goes back to when Christmas trees were decorated with candles, which symbolized Christ being the light of the world.  The shape of the candy cane represents the crook-style with the shepherd’s staff. The candy cane's shape resembling a shepherd's crook symbolizes the guidance and care that God provides for His people, like a shepherd tending to his flock. The "J" shape of the candy cane stands for "Jesus." The hardness of the candy cane represents the solid foundation of the Christian faith. The white color represents purity and the red stripes symbolize Christ's blood shed for humanity's salvation.  Every Christmas wreath is more than just a decoration... it's a special reminder of Jesus, the reason for the season, our celebration of the birth of Jesus. The circle of a Christmas wreath is a never-ending ring, a reminder of the eternal love from our Lord and King. The Christmas wreath is a sign of welcome, inviting all to enter in your home, church or business... a reminder of Christ's invitation for all to come to Him. The middle of a Christmas wreath is a bare and empty space, a reminder of what life would be without Christ's love and grace. So each time you see a Christmas wreath hanging from a door, may your hearts rejoice in the One that Christmas is truly for!  |
