Hello Friend,
Does your family observe any particular traditions each Christmas?
It’s interesting how a lot of people will celebrate Christmas and keep traditions for the holiday even though they are not believers. Christmas traditions are fun, and even important, as they are meant to point to the reason for the season: Jesus.
Sometimes God will shake things up when we start to put too much emphasis on our traditions; just look at how Jesus interacted with the Pharisees. Traditions lose their meaning when they become idols in our lives.
Here’s the point I’m driving at:
Christmas this year is going to be different. The coronavirus restrictions might mean that the normal church programs and services and gatherings look different this year. Your traditions may have to change or be put on hold this year. But God can use these changes to remind us of what the essential elements of Christmas really are: - Worshiping the King who came from Heaven to be born on earth
- Praising the Savior who died for our sins to set us free
- Proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world
Yes, Christmas may not be the same this year, but God can take situations that seem bad and use them for good! We’ve seen that this year as more people than ever before have made a decision to follow Christ through Harvest Ministries.
Will you help us continue to bring people to Jesus Christ in 2021? As only days remain in this year, it’s an important time to evaluate what’s important and what isn’t.
Worship the Lord by giving to the work He is doing in these unique times:
