A Christmas Message

Have you ever sat and thought back on your Christmas times of the past? When I was a little kid I would go to bed early on Christmas eve hoping that somehow that would speed up time and Christmas morning would arrive faster so I could get to my gifts! I recall Christmas time when Sis Gobert and I first got married. We would be so excited to give each other our gifts that we rarely made it to Christmas morning. And when I say that, I don’t mean Christmas eve I mean earrrrly December we would exchange gifts. Then can Christmas with the kids. Store after store, list after list, present after present until you were exhausted from the “joy” of Christmas.

Now think back to the Christmas AFTER you had a change of heart. The year that you understood the real reason for the season. Like a child on Christmas morning, your heart burst with excitement from the love of Jesus Christ!

When I came to the Lord, the true meaning of the season bloomed in my heart and my spirit. The question you need to ask yourself this holiday season is which is more important to give your child. A pair of Jordan’s that they will outgrow in a week, a PlayStation that they won’t want anymore when they come out with the next model, a smart phone that has become their new babysitter, or give them the whole story, that you know a man that took a nobody like me, gave me a voice to tell everybody, about somebody (Jesus) who can save anybody!

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 NIV

Be blessed this Christmas season. Give your children and loved ones the greatest gift, the chance to know Jesus Christ. Have a wonderful holiday.
