January 02, 2012 Monday Message:
Now that we’re in the New Year, take some time to reflect on Christmas. Did you spend time with Jesus this Christmas? I don’t mean, “Did you go to church?” Most of us did that. But did you spend a few quiet moments committing or re-committing yourself to the one who came to rescue you?
Christmas is a busy time, with trees, ornaments and presents with colorful paper and bright ribbon. We cook big dinners, invite friends and family, and over-indulge. There are bright lights, carols on the radio and manger scenes almost everywhere. Kids wear funny costumes, and we applaud as they act out the Gospel of Luke.
There’s so much going on during the holiday season that I believe we need to be very intentional about spending some time with our savior. So I encourage you to take a couple of minutes during your quiet time to thank the redeemer. At Christmas, he’s a baby in a manger. But someday, he will clothe you in garments of white!
May you grow closer to the Lord during this special time of year – Happy New Year!
