THE GOSPEL STORY BY COLOURS

Yellow reminds us of gold: the promise of eternal life.  Gold reminds me of things that are very special.  It reminds me of God.  God is perfect and He does nothing wrong.  God created you and me.  Gold also reminds me of Heaven.  Heaven is where God lives.  The Bible even says that the streets of Heaven are paved with gold!   Heaven sounds like a great place doesn’t it?  But there is one thing that can not ever be in Heaven: sin.  We learned that the only way to get rid of our sin is to ask Jesus to wipe it away.  John 14:2-3

Black reminds us of sin.  Sin is all of the bad stuff that you and I do that makes God really sad.  We all make bad choices.   The Bible says in Romans 3:23 that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” This means that there is nothing that we can do to ever make us good enough to reach God.  But there is good news!  God planned a way for us to reach Him.

God’s plan was to send His perfect son, Jesus.  On Christmas, we celebrate Jesus' birth, and that He grew into a young man.  Jesus never sinned.  Because of this, He was able to take our place  on the cross and die for our sins.  The red color reminds us of the blood that Jesus shed for our sins.  Jesus' shed blood and death mean we can be forgiven for our sins, the bad things we do.  But guess what?  He didn't stay dead.  Three days later, Jesus arose from the grave.  Later, Jesus went to heaven.  Now He is preparing a place for all those who believe in Him.   Because of what Jesus did for you, you can have your sins forgiven!

John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world, that He gave Him only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”

The white stands for the cleansing of salvation. Once we accept Christ, we become a new creation! (II Cor. 5:17) God saves us instantly through our faith in Christ. He washes away all of our sin and makes us white as snow before Him! (Psalm 51:7; Isaiah 1:18) This is the promise of God, that He will forgive us all our sins!

Once we ask Jesus into our heart, He changes who we are.  We now have Jesus to help us make good choices.  The green reminds us of how Jesus helps us grow into the Christian He wants us to be!  The Bible tells us in 2 Peter 3:18 that we are to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”  Plants need three things to grow: sunshine, rain and good soil. Christians need to pray, read the Bible, and spend time with other Christians at church.  All three of these will help Christians grow up in Jesus.

Blue is for faith.  As Christians we believe that Jesus will come again to take us with Him.  We do not have to doubt in His love and grace.  Galatians 2:16:  And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law.  For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law
