Spreading The Word, A Worthy Family Christmas Eve Church Service
Kerry Beck
As brothers and sisters in Christ, we know what it means of having Christmas in our hearts, but do we glorify this fact and tell the world about it during Christmas time? Its time to softly challenge those who view Christmas as a time to make money while greed is in the hearts of many.
Pass it on. Want to give a special gift to a friend or coworker? Give them the gift of the Word. Share the Christmas story, and I don't mean "'Twas the Night before Christmas". Pre-printed leaflets recounting the miracle of Jesus' birth can be purchased from a Christian bookseller. Or, add that personal touch and create a booklet of your own. A small item, such as a candle, can be included too. Fill a weary heart with God's message.
Share His love. When someone invites a person to their house, it signifies that they wish to share their good fortune with them. When we accept Christ into our lives, his home becomes our home. Invite a friend or coworker to God's house for an Advent service or a family Christmas Eve church service. They will be glad they came.
Share it. For people living in poverty, it gets a little bit harder during the Christmas holidays. There is an increase in suicides. Those in dire need, like the impoverished and destitute, become more helpless due to the worsening weather conditions of winter. God wants us to show His love, especially to these people.
Volunteers are a welcomed sight at holiday time. Soup kitchens and food banks seek extra people to prepare and serve hot meals and help with food box deliveries. The social services agency can provide particulars on families in the area that want to be "adopted" for Christmas. As a church body, everyone can pitch in and provide gifts and other necessary items. Providing gifts for orphaned children can also be a church project or one taken on by individual families within the congregation. If you see a need that has yet to be met, begin your own program to provide it or let your family do it.
The goal is to let your light shine in the life of another human being. During his days here on earth, Jesus met each person at their level of need. If you help someone they are more likely to listen to what you may tell them, especially when it concerns Christ.
Living Christ's life is a commitment to spread the Word and love to others. If Christ is always prioritized in your lives, your actions should be known by everyone. Being Christians, we have a chance to give to the world the true meaning of the Christmas season.
