Some living things, even ones we consider insignificant, can point us to the person and work of Jesus in surprising and amazing ways. The crimson worm is one of these lowly but unique creations. About seven millimeters long, the crimson worm is barely longer than the width of a pencil eraser. You might call it minimal, minor, miniature, or minuscule. But God created the crimson worm to have a life cycle that points us to one event: Jesus’ saving death on the cross.
