Day Nine: The Colors of Christmas
When we think of Christmas we often think of colors like red, green, white, blue, and gold. Each color holds a special meaning. Green reminds us of living things like plants and trees and the eternal life that we have in Christ. While red reminds us of the blood that Jesus shed on the cross, and white reminds us of the pureness of Jesus. Gold was one of the gifts given to Jesus by the wise men, and blue reminds us of the sky and heaven.
Read Isaiah 1:8.
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
Colors are used throughout the Bible to express God’s love and forgiveness.
Read 1 John 1:7.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
Takeaway: Talk about other colors you see at Christmas and think about how they help you to remember the meaning of Christmas.
