Unwanted Teddy Bear Shows How Jesus Looks Past Our Imperfections

Unwanted Teddy Bear Shows How Jesus Looks Past Our Imperfections

Sometimes we need to be reminded of the fact that Jesus sees past all of our imperfections. And that's exactly the message that is being shared this holiday season through an old ratty teddy bear.


This bear was placed on a shelf with brand new, fluffy stuffed animals and he started to feel discouraged. He knew that there was no way anyone was going to buy him when all of the other animals looked so much better. Time and time again, customers came in and chose the most attractive stuffed animals over him. It made him want to be hidden and have all of his faults covered up.

Eventually, he was the last one on the shelf and a man came in, swept him off the shelf and wrapped him in that beautiful, red wrapping paper. That's when the teddy bear became so afraid that on Christmas morning his new owner would reject him. But much to his surprise, the young boy overlooked his imperfections. He even mended his hole, bathed his coat, and gave him a new eye.

This sweet story illustrates how God love us despite our sins and flaws. He has taken us and washed us clean. What a powerful message this Christmas season!
