THE CHRISTMAS TREE
The first person to bring a Christmas Tree into a house, in the way we know it today, may have been the 16th century German preacher Martin Luther. A story is told that Luther was walking through a pine forest near his home in Wittenberg on Christmas Eve in 1536. He was inspired to set up a candle-lit fir tree in his home after seeing thousands of stars among the branches of the trees. He wanted to remind his children of the heavens where Christ came from.
In Christianity, the Christmas tree represents Jesus Christ's birth and resurrection.
THE CHRISTMAS TREE……………..excerpts from an article by Cortney Whiting
The Tree. The Evergreen tree is a tree that maintains its color throughout the year. Even in the depths of winter, the Evergreen tree shows its life. This characteristic of everlasting life represents the life we have in Christ (John 3:16).
The Shape. The triangular shape of the Christmas tree has often been used to reference the Holy Trinity (Matthew 28:18-19). The upward pointing branches often symbolize our praise to God.
The Lights. For many Christians, candles or lights on the tree signify how Jesus came as the light into the world. The star placed atop the tree represents the star the wise men followed to Bethlehem (Matthew 2:9).
The Presents. For some, presents under the tree represent the gifts the wise men brought to Jesus (Matthew 2:11). For others, the presents represent the gift of salvation we have through Jesus (Romans 3:21-22).
The Cutting of the Tree. When the Evergreen tree is cut, it is struck down to its death, only to be raised to glory and splendor as a decorated Christmas tree. This transformation of the tree symbolizes how Jesus died on a tree and was raised to new life on the third day.
No matter what our personal beliefs are, we all can view the beauty and joy a Christmas tree brings to us and our family and to the hope it signifies for each of us.
