Merry Christmas! - December 25, 2008

Merry Christmas! I pray that you are having a wonderful Christmas Day on this anniversary celebration of our Lord's birth. This morning I want to send out the love of Jesus to all. In our Christian witness, we study many things; discipleship, apologetics, diction, service, and of course, the Bible. However, what we must send out and show to the world is much more simple. We need to shine the love of Jesus into a dark world. Sometimes I think that I get too worried about giving a perfect testimony to an unbeliever, and forget that what Jesus wants me to show is love. He sent the Holy Spirit to give us comfort and to convict the unbelievers; we do not need to worry too much about perfect speaking or writing. Practicing and becoming more proficient at our witness is good, but we don't need to worry over it. On this Christmas day, take time to relax into the love of Jesus. Share that love and enjoy the love of our Lord in your life.

This year is a good year to share love instead of loot; many of us are short on loot this year as compared to past years anyway. We are never short of love, and in that love we realize that Christ has provided all that we need. Grow closer to Jesus during the tough times and you will find the worries taking a hike. I love you Lord Jesus! Have a great Christmas in the love of Christ!
