Here’s a brief blog series on each of the 12 days of Christmas, with the Christian meanings I listed previously. I can’t discern any connection between the traditional gifts and the Christian meaning, so I’m ignoring that.
On the first day of Christmas, my True Love [God] gave to
me:
A partridge in a pear tree
Jesus Christ our
Savior, baby
Jesus of course is God’s first gift to the world. God spoke the eternal Word, and by Him
created the worlds in Genesis 1:2-3. “By
the word of the LORD the heavens were made” (Psalm 33:6). They were made by Him and FOR Him (Colossians
1:16).
God spoke again, and the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary. The Word entered her womb and took on the
flesh of a human embryo: Jesus of Nazareth.
God became a man to save men.
“God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” – John 3:16.
“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” – 2 Corinthians
9:15
