JCB excavators are so well known (in the UK at least) that just about any brand of mechanical digger is often referred to as a JCB. In fact, "JCB" appears in the Oxford English Dictionary, denoting any backhoe/endloader combination, or similar machinery.
But, what do the letters JCB stand for? Given the festive lights added by this dealership, maybe it should be something like "Jesus Christ is Born". In fact, JCB are the initials of the company's founder - Joseph Cyril Bamford. He built his first vehicle in Uttoxeter, England in 1945 using surplus war materials.
This reminds me of what will happen when Jesus Christ returns to this world - not as a humble babe in a manger, but as Judge and King:
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
(Isaiah 2:4)
