Caryle shows the bracelet to Meghan and Peter. |
| The story about the bracelet: There is sin (black stone)
in the world, and it has permeated our lives; but we are so grateful
for Jesus Christ dying (red stone-blood) for our sins. He has
made us pure (white stone) in his sight, free of sin. Because
of this we want to have Christ (purple or blue) as the center
of our lives. Then we can grow (green stone) in ways we can’t
even imagine. We look forward to spending eternity with Him on
the streets of gold (gold stone) in Heaven where we will come
face to face with our Father God and will rest in His most Holy
and Awesome presence (crystal stone). |
