Friends,
Christmas is one of the best opportunities we have to share Jesus with others. The season is filled with reminders of hope, joy, and love—the very heart of the gospel. From carols that proclaim “Christ the Savior is born” to nativity scenes that tell the story of His humble birth, the world is naturally drawn to the message of Jesus during this time.
The apostle John writes, “The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world” (John 1:9). Christmas is our chance to point others to that light—Jesus Christ. Many people are more open to spiritual conversations during this season, whether they realize it or not.
This Christmas, let’s seize the opportunity to share the hope we have in Christ. It could be as simple as sharing your faith story, inviting someone to church, or offering to pray for a friend. Remember what Peter said: “Always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15).
Let’s make this season about more than just gifts and traditions. Let’s point others to the greatest gift of all—salvation through Jesus Christ.
