It appears the older I get the less Christmas is actually about the Christ. How did that even happen? Why is it more important for us to give the best gift that our loved ones will remember for years, then to give our time or resources to those who know nothing of luxury or even comfort. How about this for a statistic, there are over 2.7 billion people on this planet that have NEVER heard the good news of Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection for everyone’s sins! How is that even possible? If each professing Christian told the story to at least one person a day, we could eradicate that number easily.
Guess what? Not gonna happen sitting around the Christmas tree though. I highly doubt there are any unreached people groups around your tree, Let’s all vow that we will always show God’s love in our life, and that we will actively seek people who are lost. It is our great commission.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ~Matthew 28:19-20
