For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11
It is such a joy to go shopping and hear songs of the season. Maybe not the hymns we love about baby Jesus, but happy uplifting songs that bring joy.
Jingle Bells, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas. These songs though not about the true meaning of Christmas gives a spring in our steps.
People seem happier at this time of year. More smiles and more tolerance of long lines in the grocery store or at the mall.
That is why I love the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We must be careful not to get so caught up in the worldly activities that we forget the true meaning of the season. Jesus is the reason for the Season.
Waking up in the morning to a beautiful sunny day.
As darkness falls the lights in our homes allows us to enjoy the evening.
The lights of a city skyline at night. How we complain when electricity goes out, even for a few minutes or longer. Light is important.
The Bible tells us a lot about light. Jesus is the light of the world. Without Him we would be in total darkness spiritually.
His Word also tells us that as Christians we are light. He uses a candle as the illustration. Do not hide your light under a bushel. It is our responsibility to tell others of the wonderful light we have. Jesus.
Today, thank the Lord for His light and then share that light with someone.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:15-16
Jesus forgives all our sins when we accept His death, burial and resurrection as payment for our sins.
The most amazing thing is that He forgives ALL those sins. Past, present and future sin, FORGIVEN.
How many times do we commit the same sin over and over. Jesus in His mercy has forgiven them. Then He helps us overcome that sin, if we ask Him for help.
We can be eternally thankful for God’s forgiveness.
Thank the Lord for your friends. Some people have few friends, some have many friends.
A friend is someone who loves you in any circumstance. They laugh with you when you are happy and cry with you when you are sad, they accept you with all your faults and if you disagree they will come to an agreement even if it is to disagree agreeably. Sometimes a friend will disappoint you but they are still there for you when you need them.
There is one true friend that is always with you and that is Jesus. For the Christian He is the closest friend you will ever have and he never disappoints you. He listens to every prayer and has the power to answer. He comforts when you are hurting or sick. He is with you in your joys and in your sorrow. 24/7 He is there.
We are thankful for our friends here on earth but most thankful for Jesus who is ever present in our lives.
John 15:15 – Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
In memory of Tom Curtis, founder of SOS EVENTS Ministry. He would have been 86 today. But, he is now celebrating his birthday in Heaven.
He was a man who loved God and was a great witness for the Lord. His desire was not only to see souls saved but to get other Christians to be soul winners.
Mission accomplished in his life. SOS Events has seen over 80,000 souls saved in 20 years and hundreds of Christians trained and witnessing all over the USA and beyond. So while we miss him today we celebrate his life.
His desire was to witness to everyone he met. If you are reading this and you are no saved, you can help us honor Tom by placing your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus. That would be a great way to honor the memory of a man who loved Jesus.
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12
