The Christian life can be very hard. And
being a witness for Christ can sometimes seem very exhausting. But Christmas
reminds us that the Christian life is not just about weeping
and bearing our crosses and waging war against sin. It is about finding our
joy in Jesus even when we are weeping and bearing our crosses and waging war
against sin. It is living a life that says Jesus is worth it. But it is not just
putting on a happy face. It is about truly experiencing joy and peace in
believing.
Christmas proves that God cares about you, he cares about injustice and evil, and he cares about showing you how he is going to make everything right in the end. Christmas has the power to show you, though all the small gifts, and smiles, and moments of fleeting pleasure and satisfaction, something greater. That in Jesus Christ, God has given his greatest gift, in order to give you an everlasting pleasure, and the eternal smile of God on your soul, and a never-ending, ever-increasing satisfaction, which you can begin to feel right now, if you want it. That’s the power of Christmas.
Has the power of Christmas ever been proven in your life? If so, then let Christmas stoke the fires of faith in you once again. If not, then let God use Christmas to start the blaze of true belief in your soul. Christmas proves that we have a power that is greater than this world. Let’s show it to our world.
