Messiah Vine

I designed THE MESSIAH VINE to help celebrate both the birth and the resurrection of Christ. Often, Advent and Lent are treated as completely separate seasons. But they aren’t separate events - they are one beautiful, connected, REAL story! I actually wrote The Messiah Vine for my own family out of my frustration that most Advent resources leave Jesus in the manger at Christmas and the realization that there are few resources available that mark Easter in a way that is cohesive with the whole scope of the Bible.

 

Jesus was not only the Baby of Bethlehem - He is also the Creator of the universe, the Savior of the world, and the Lord of eternity!

 

THE MESSIAH VINE will help you weave both seasons together. As you progress through the Advent and Lenten seasons, you will focus on some of the main events in God’s work of redemption. You might think of The Messiah Vine as a timeline that depicts God’s plan from before creation into eternity. During the Advent season, The Messiah Vine devotional will guide you with daily readings and ornaments covering creation to Jesus’ boyhood. During the Lenten season, there are weekly readings and ornaments which focus on the “I am” statements of Christ, and then, for Holy Week, there are readings and symbols for Maundy Thursday through Easter. As with all traditions, the symbols and readings of The Messiah Vine become more precious as they are enjoyed year after year.

 

Customers have told me that their Messiah Vines have become an important family tradition; that their children are eager to open the familiar box as Advent approaches; that it's given them a sense of the Bible's chronology and an understanding of key events in redemptive history.
