Cornucopia. What is it?
We might know it as the horn of plenty. From its center flows a multitude of good things which never come to an end.
So, that begs the question … what does this have to do with Christmas? Isn’t the cornucopia a Thanksgiving thing? A symbol of a bountiful harvest?
Ah, now you’re seeing it. Bountiful. Harvest.
But, a harvest of what? Let’s read Titus 3:4-6 to find out:
“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior.”
Here’s the connection. In a cornucopia, good things just FLOW. We don’t work for them, they just ARE.
Our salvation is the same. Not because of what we’ve done, but because God is MERCIFUL.
Then, as if that’s not enough, out of our cornucopia of blessings God pours the HOLY SPIRIT.
Now this part is important. He pours out the Holy Spirit GENEROUSLY … and … wait for it … THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR.
Here’s what I want you to see in this: Jesus is the core of it all. Without Jesus, it all falls apart.
Seriously.
Some people say Jesus was just a man in an ancient story book … yet, what if we take him out of the story? EVERYTHING falls apart, the whole book, the whole history of the church, the whole point of who we are today.
This Christmas let’s focus on Jesus. He is the one from whom all our blessings flow.
