Help Others See Christ in Christmas
With Christmas in the air, I wonder: Where is the Child whose birthday we celebrate?
During the first Christmas, angels visited shepherds with their flocks at night. At their command, the shepherds hurried back to Bethlehem to see the newborn babe, the Christ child, “the Savior of the world.” [Luke 2:8-20]
Today, if your friends and neighbors want to see Jesus, where would they find Him? Thankfully, there are a number of good answers.
You can invite them over to your festively-decorated home. You can take them a plate of delicious homemade holiday treats. You can buy extra tickets and invite them to go with you to a Christmas concert.
What else can you do? You can invite some of your church friends to come over and help you winsomely sing Christmas carols in front of each home in your neighborhood.
Or, you might do what two of my adventurous friends have done, and set up a “living room” of sorts in your driveway, complete with lamps, chairs, sofas, refreshment tables, and your favorite Christmas music. People may just flock over to join you.
This Christmas, pick one thing you can do to make it easier for your friends and neighbors to find Jesus.
“This Christmas, pick one thing you can do to make it easier for your friends and neighbors to find Jesus.”
Luke 2:11
“The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!”
