It’s not about Him, it’s about us.įinding strategies and time to work on your walk with Christ is going to be challenging for the next couple of weeks. He left the glory of heaven to come do something special for us. Now take those thoughts and reactions and compare them to Christ. (We really don’t like it when a needy stranger interrupts our schedule.) I’m sure you don’t complain out loud, but when our comfortable lives are disrupted we have a tendency to react.
We often grumble when our routines are disrupted by a friend or family member who needs our help. Let’s face it we don’t like to get out our warm and comfortable beds to go check on a sick child whom we love dearly in the middle of the night. I’m convinced that we all need to find a strategy during these next busy weeks to be reminded of why Christ came to earth.
This year, I want to make sure I spend some concentrated time trying to be mindful of what Christ has done for me. I have often found myself focused on doing things that fill my schedule and my tummy but leave my spirit undernourished. Could I challenge you now to begin finding the quiet time in your day to “walk with God?” I don’t know about you, but there have been years when this time has been so busy and hectic, so bright and exciting that I’ve gotten to December 26th and realized that I had experienced the “mas” but missed the “Christ” part of Christmas. John 3:16įolks, Christmas is just a few days away. He came to save.įor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. …They will call him “Immanuel” – which means, God with us. Matthew 1:23 So at Christmas, we rightly celebrate Christ, but he didn’t come to be celebrated. Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you he is Christ the Lord. We celebrate Jesus’ birth at Christmas but He left heaven’s throne and came to earth as a man so that we might experience re-birth.įor unto us a child is born, to us a son is given… Isaiah 9:6 In this week’s session of The Quest for Authentic Manhood, many of us heard Robert Lewis say, WE are the reason for the season. But, I want to share another, powerful thought with you. I’m glad that someone coined that phrase to keep us focused on Christ in Christmas.
