About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"REMEMBER WHOSE BIRTHDAY IT REALLY IS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
REMEMBER WHOSE BIRTHDAY IT REALLY IS
WHAT DO YOU GET SOMEONE FOR CHRISTMAS WHO HAS EVERYTHING? WITH YOUR CHILDREN, THERE IS NEVER A PROBLEM....THEY WILL TAKE ANYTHING. YOUR SPOUSE MIGHT BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE EVERYTHING BUT THERE ARE TIMES YOU JUST CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING, AT LEASE THAT YOU CAN AFFORD.
HOW ABOUT JESUS? HIS BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP. HAVE YOU EVER MADE HIM A BIRTHDAY CAKE? DO YOU WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY? WE GET SO CAUGHT UP IN BUYING FOR OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND FORGET WHOSE BIRTHDAY IT REALLY IS. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE HIM THIS YEAR?
I HAVE THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT WHAT TO GIVE HIM AND I HAVE COME UP WITH A FEW THINGS. HOW ABOUT FELLOWSHIPPING WITH HIM AND SHOWING HIM YOUR TRUE LOVE AND DEVOTION? THAT WOULD BE A NICE GIFT AND I KNOW HE WOULD LOVE IT. HOW ABOUT YOUR OBEDIENCE? I KNOW HE WOULD LOVE THAT TOO AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT THAT GIFT IS THAT YOU WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT. ANYTIME WE OBEY HIS WORD IT IS REWARDING AND SHOWS HIM WE LOVE HIM.
I GUESS THE BEST GIFT TO GIVE HIM WOULD BE A LOST SOUL. I KNOW THIS IS NOT AN EASY TASK AND ALL WE CAN DO IS TO TALK TO THOSE LOST ONES AND TRY TO POINT THEM TO JESUS. YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO REACH ALL OF THEM THAT YOU TALK WITH BUT WHAT IF JUST ONE RECEIVES. WOULDN'T IT BE WORTH IT. IF WE CAN SPEND HOURS AND DAYS SHOPPING FOR EVERYONE ELSE, WHY CAN'T WE SPEND AS MUCH TIME ON THE ONE WHOSE BIRTHDAY IT REALLY IS? DON'T YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY JESUS WOULD BE?
IT REMINDS ME OF THE STORY OF THE NINETY AND NINE SHEEP IN MATTHEW 18. WHEN ONE WAS LOST, LOOK WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT IT IN VERSE 14 "Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish." WOULDN'T JESUS BE HAPPY THAT ONE OF HIS LITTLE ONES ACCEPTED HIM AS THEIR SAVIOR? I BELIEVE THE NEXT VERSE SAYS IT ALL. VERSE 13 SAYS "And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray."
LET'S ALL TRY TO REMEMBER JUST WHAT DECEMBER 25TH REALLY IS....THE BIRTHDAY OF OUR SAVIOR. LET'S CELEBRATE IT BY FOCUSING ON HIM INSTEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE. HE DESERVES NO LESS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
