sharing the gospel with a candy cane
December 2023
Every year, I share the Candymaker’s Witness. If you need a quick children’s sermon, this lesson is fun and easy. Share about Jesus using a candy cane. You can hand out candy canes to the children after the service.
“J” is for Jesus, God’s only Son. (Hold as a J). Hold it like a shepherd’s staff since Jesus is the “Good Shepherd.”
White is for purity…Jesus never sinned.
Red is for Jesus’ blood…spilled for us, but He conquered death.
The candy is hard because Jesus is our “Rock.”
Scripture references, in order: John 3:16, John 10:14, Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 9:14, Psalm 18:2
