A sweet maker in Indiana needed to make a candy that may be a witness, so he made the Christmas Sweet Cane. He integrated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and loss of life of Jesus Christ.
He began with a stick of pure white, exhausting candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Delivery and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to represent the Strong Rock, the foundation of the church, and firmness of the promises of God.
The sweet maker made the sweet within the form of a "J" to represent the valuable name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It additionally represents the workers of the "Good Shepherd" with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to raise out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray.
Thinking that the candy was considerably plain, the sweet maker stained it with red stripes. He used the tree small stripes to indicate the stripes of the scourging Jesus acquired by which we are healed. The big red stripe was for the blood shed by Jesus on the Cross in order that we could have the promise of eternal life, if solely we put our religion and belief in Him. Unfortunately, the candy turned known as a Sweet Cane - a meaningless ornament seen at Christmas time. But the that means remains to be there for those who "have eyes to see and ears to hear".
