The evergreen enjoys a positive outlook in the pages of Scripture. While this does not warrant whether a person should place an evergreen in their home in celebration of Christmas, it does provide a spiritual symbolism that can be enjoyed during this holiday season. Personally, I have always enjoyed putting up a Christmas tree, especially with multiple colored lights. But knowing the symbolism of the evergreen in Scripture causes me to look at our Christmas tree in a new light this season. For the Christmas tree reminds me that God, like the evergreen, is eternal, cares for his own, and is the source of life, vitality, and fruit. May you also remember the divine symbols accompanying this Christmas season as we celebrate the incarnation of Christ.
