The honeycomb is the place where bees store their honey. Bees are like spiritual travelers, that pollenate and collect what’s needed, to bring back to the hive. The honey is the Word of God…

Leaves are beautiful to look at, they come in all shapes and sizes. The image of the leaf itself is not as important as the function of the leaf in Hebrew thought…

“A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”  Jesus reached out his hand and touched 

the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.” (Matthew 8:2,3).

Thorns, a byproduct of the fall in the Garden of Eden when man sinned, becomes a symbol of what God used to redeem His people through His Son Jesus Christ. When man sinned, the ground was cursed with “thorns and thistles” (Ge.3:18). Although they were not a part of creation, God still used this negative imagery to weave a beautiful redemptive story.
