Luke 2:7 "And she brought forth her firstborn son,and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,and laid Him in a manger;because there was no room for them in the inn"
Will you share Christ this christmas?With all of the commercialization that has taken place,will you find the time to share Christ with someone this Christmas.With all the shopping,Christmas presents, Christmas parties,the comming and going, will you stop long enough, to tell somebody about Christ this Christmas.With the football games,basketball games,the wrapping, whinning,and worring that will be heard ,will someone you know hear the real Christmas story.
The infant Lord who was born Savior of the world,who was rejected by the inn keeper, hunted by a king,sought by the wise men and received joyfully by Anna and Simione, is still being presented to all today.The good news about Christ is being proclaimed as we read this message.We each have the same choice that was available back then. We can like the inn keeper have no room for a savior,as we fill our lives with the things of this world,being over run with pride, greed, and selfrighteousness leaving no room for the savior.We can be like the king and try to kill the savior,not wanting him to enter in and make changes to who we are for fear he might take something from us, that we are trying to hold to.We can be like the wise men and seek Him to give Him the best gifts that we have and then receive Him joyfully like Anna and Simione, who prayed not to see death, until they saw the salvation of the Lord for themselves,they heard about it but they prayed to see it.
People we should not want to see death without seeing our salvation.Hearing about it is great,for faith comes by hearing, but we must pray not to see death until we see it for ourselves. Let us not kill Him off, let us make room in for him in our life, Let us seek Him with all our heart,and receive Him joyfully, and remember to share him with someone this Christmas.
