LAST MEETING: Christian Farmer’s Bracelets, Thursday August 3rd @7PM. DPUMC Conference Room
Last month we gathered to make bracelets for the Christian Farmers Outreach. The bracelets are simple leather bands with just 5 beads, and tied off at the ends. The Christian Farmers Outreach uses the bracelets to help spread the word of Christ around the world. The beads each have a significant meaning:
Gold — Represents Heaven Somewhere we all want to go. “ …and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.” Rev 21:18b
Dark — Represents Sin Our Problem — All Are Sinners
“ For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 6:23
Red — Blood of Christ God’s Remedy for Sin
“ But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
This is what Jesus did for us. He loved us so much that He went to the cross on our behalf that we can have eternal forgiveness for our sin and be saved.
White — All May be Saved Now Our Response to what Jesus did for us on the cross.
“ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13
“ But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the Sons of God.” John 1:12a
Green — Represents Growth The Lord wants us to experience His peace and joy. He has a special purpose for us all.
“ But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” II Peter 3:18
