Advent 2020: the Christmas tree

 Advent 2020: the Christmas tree by ric gustafson


The origin of the Christmas tree is complicated. A green branch was a sign of life and eternal life. Jesus used the Passover meal to talk about saving people from slavery in Egypt. Bread and wine points to God's saving action on the cross. Jesus's death saved people from the slavery of sin. Advent shows us that Jesus's mission was to redeem the entire world. God loves us more than anything else.
