No Christmas....

No Christmas...

The stores are quiet, no aisles of red and green, no nativities, no songs, no holiday sales over and over again, no wrapping paper for no gifts that are endlessly advertised....

No sermons of the meaning of Christmas, no manger scenes, no practices for a special program, 

Just days of sameness...no speaking of miracles of Christ’s birth, life or resurrection...no hope...

There are those of whom this is true...even now...those unreached...who have never heard of the Bible, God’s Word...they may worship something or someone...but not the Christ who came as a lowly baby ...not the Emmanuel, the Prince  of Peace, a Savior, the Son of the Most High...whose kingdom has no end...

Wouldn’t life be different from what we know?

No joy of the eternal, no angels singing, no shepherds, no wisemen, no testimonies of disciples, apostles, no future revelations, no help for the day to day living, no transformation, no encouragement, no ———,

No All that we have in the Word , the truth of the Holy Spirit speaking into our lives, no promises....nothing...

Oh God, I am so thankful that there is no “nothing”...You have given the world hope, the Word, joy, salvation through repentance, the Holy Spirit, and so much more..

I pray that those who have the “nothingness” in their lives seek and find you...that the Word would increase into their world wherever it is, from the inner city to the valleys not yet found, from the suburban family to those forbidden to seek....just everywhere and everyone...that “none should perish “ ...their hearts softened to the inner calling of truth that You put on the heart of all...

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 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, 20 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 28:18-20

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 1:8 

We don’t need all the commercialism of Christmas...we need the Christ 

Of Christmas...we need the Savior...the redeemer, the Word... the Joy, the Hope...for all the world...the real Gift...

Thank YOU...

(I heard from my area, that over 13,000 boxes were sent to operation Christmas Child...amazing...that means 13,000 children and families will hear the Word at the presentation of these and have the opportunity to study more...just Think this will multiplied by millions around the world...a small gift can do so much, just as a small baby can grow to be the Hope for the World)....
