Ribbons & Bows – Wrapped in Love

“And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger...” (Luke. 2:12 KJV)

The reason for the season reminders all around us 

Christmas decorations and their symbolism remind us of the true reason for the season which is Jesus.

God’s perfect gift of love!  

Ribbons and bows are everywhere during the Christmas season, on gifts, wreathes, tree adornments, on swags, and many other places, and act as reminders that Jesus is God’s perfect gift to us—at His birth, the baby Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes, which were small ribbons of cloth.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but shall have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Therefore

When we see Christmas bows and ribbons, they should remind us of God’s wonderful gift of Jesus, binding us together in love, goodwill, and unity.

“Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.” (1 Peter 3:8 ESV)

“Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.” (Phil. 2:2)
