For us, Christmas is not just another holiday or a day to just feast and eat. It is a day to remember God’s love for us through Christ (John 3:16–17). Oh, what a joy it is to know that we are eternally saved.
Think about this: whether it’s the best thing you’ve ever eaten, an awesome movie you just saw, a compelling book you just couldn’t put down, a great gift you received, or landing your dream job— when something amazing happens, the first thing we usually want to do is share it with others!
All over the world, whether people believe in Jesus or not, the Christmas season is acknowledged as a festive period. By now, the streets and homes will be decked with decorations, lights and maybe a ‘Father Christmas’ or ‘Santa Claus’.
After special seasons, the enemy’s strategy is often to make you forget, but you must be intentional about thanksgiving.
Remember that a good year is not only judged by what was gained physically, but also by how firmly the gospel stood, grew, and worked within us and through us.
