This Christmas celebrate Jesus and remember not to get caught up in the buying and giving of material gifts only, but give and enjoy the gift of Christ. Let your Light shine in the lives of those who have not experienced the glory of God.
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthian 4:6
Remember that, “Jesus is the reason for the season!” Here are some ways to make Christmas more about Christ:
- Re-read the Gospels – the account of Jesus’ birth.
- Share the Gospel and the story of Jesus’ birth with someone who needs to hear about God’s grace.
- Give a gift to someone who can’t give you anything in return.
- Give Christ a gift that cost you something, like your heart, your obedience, your money, your time.
- Celebrate Jesus on Christ-mas day. Wherever you gather and whoever you gather with make something special to share and enjoy in His honor as you take time to remember His birth – Jesus our Savior was born into this world to die for us so that we live with Him for eternity.
Beloved, God has given us His best, the best gift of all – His holy Son Jesus. I prayer that you know, experience and enjoy the gift of Christ this season and continue to celebrate Him throughout your New Year!
