Christmas is a time that we are reminded of God’s love for all people, and of our call to be witnesses to that love.
We can, like the shepherds, move from an experience of God to sharing the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ, from being recipients of ministry to being givers of ministry.
We can, like the angels, point others to Jesus and communicate the love of God by work and deed.
We can, like the Wisemen, bear our gifts and live holy lives in response to what God has already done for us.
And most of all we can, like Mary and Joseph, be faithful and obedient to God’s call to be His witnesses for Jesus Christ, God made flesh for the world’s sake.
May this Christmas be a time of growth and renewal as we shift away from the demands of this world and toward celebrating the gifts of God for living abundant lives.
