God seems to have this thing for trees.

In Genesis and Revelation God informs us of the “tree of life“.
In Luke we learn that baby Jesus was laid in a manger.
In Matthew and Mark we learn that Jesus was a carpenter.
In the 4 gospels we learned that Jesus ate his last meal at a table.
In the 4 gospels we read where Jesus was nailed to a cross.

Trees are every where … even on Michigan Ave. in Chicago.
So each time you see a tree … whether it’s a Christmas tree in December … an apple blossom tree in May … or an oak tree in July … remember that God loved you so much that He sent His Son to die on a tree for your salvation.

“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2: 24

Merry Christmas !
