Christ tends to get overlooked at Christmas. Let's be honest. December comes and you think, "Ok, this is the year." This time you'll definitely slow down and take it all in. Make the most of time with family. Help the needy. Zero in on what it really means to be a Christ follower during this holy season. But then, life happens, Christmas comes and goes and everything is pretty much the same.What if this Christmas things really were different? What if this Christmas you could discover how to
- WORSHIP MORE
- GIVE MORE
- LOVE MORE
Here's the deal: I'm not a cynic or a humbug, but there's nothing magic about the Christmas season. Christmas doesn't change me, and the Christmas season can't change me. I can't really become something at Christmas that I'm not the rest of the year. But, it's not hopeless.
The coming of Christ was meant to change the world. Christ changes me. The coming of Christ fulfilled a long awaited promise. In Christ we now have full access to life in the eternal kingdom of God.
So, while I may not become a different person at Christmas, in Christ I am a new creation, and I'm learning to live like the person God says I am in Christ. It's an ongoing journey, and I'm letting Jesus teach me the way to live.
This Christmas season, we'll be exploring these ideas together and discovering how the coming of Christ invites us to a life where we can worship more, give more, and love more.
