Christmas!

      What is Christmas what makes it so special? I have heard lots of different answers to this question. Some people think it’s the presents, the Christmas tree and Christmas lights. The big Christmas dinner and the family get together. The laughter and joy the story telling and Christmas caroling. All of these things are nice but I think we often forget the real meaning of Christmas the reason this day is so special. It’s Jesus birthday. Luck 2:11 (for unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior which is Christ the lord.) Christmas is supos to be about Jesus birthday but through the years it seems that he has been forgotten. Lets try to remember the true meaning of Christmas this year

                                 JESUS  IS   THE  REASON  FOR   THE   SEASON !

entertaining strangers

      In Hebrews 13:2 it says (be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.) God doesn’t want us to turn people away who come knocking on our door, we are to feed them give them drink and a place to rest. On my trip from Pennsylvania to Arkansas there were several families who took us in when we had no were to go. They didn’t ask what’s in it for me? They just gave us a place to rest and food to eat. They helped us without thinking about what they might get out of it. That’s what God want all of us do to. Help those who need it. You never know who you might be helping.

light of the world

Jesus is the light of the world! As Christians we are to let our light shine our light is Jesus Christ. In Matthew 5:16 is says ( let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.) We are to let Jesus shine through us so that others may see him in us. We are to be the guiding light in a world of darkness a light that leads others to Christ through our actions and our words. We should proudly let our light shine for Jesus not hid it. I am reminded of the song this little light of mine.

This little light of mine

                                                                     I’m going to let is shine
 

Hid it under a bush well no!

                                                                     I’m going to let is shine
 

Don’t let saten blow it out

                                                   I’m going to let is shine, let is shine, let it shine!

  Don’t be afraid to let your light shine let Jesus shine through you so that others may see him in you!
