Holiday Plans
Posted by Missions Dept
Already it’s November, when we begin to think about the holidays – Thanksgiving & Christmas. Each year during this season, I feel a tension between celebrating the season as the rest of the world does and celebrating as Jesus would be delighted. For surely I feel that the real reason for the celebration is being pushed away and away.
One thing I always think about as I am doing Christmas shopping for people around me, is, “where is the gift for the birthday boy?” What would I get for Jesus? Can I get anything for Him? What would I give Him? What would make Jesus delight on this day?
Many thoughts and ideas…but what about presenting one people or nation who is yet to come into the family of God? Interceding for that nation or people, giving toward the mission to that nation, or making a specific plan to reach out to them?
Jesus came to save the lost and to give life, and life abundant.
Jesus came, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
Jesus came not to condemn, but to save.
Would you join Jesus on this season of celebration for what He has come for? Give Jesus His birthday gift!
