Good Reading!

Do you read your Christmas cards? Not just look at them…but read them…the words. I don’t get too excited about cards cause they are so expensive and are generally sent to those who know Christ, but some are really neat and could be a tremendous evangelism tool. I have shared my view on Christmas with some of you before…how it pales in comparison to Easter. Well, yesterday I received a Christmas card that says it so well. It reads, “If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer. But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior.” What a great card to send to someone who is more in relationship with the world around them than they are with the Savior (or to anyone!). My prayer for every person who reads today’s blog is that you will come to know the full extent of God’s love for you. Celebrate the birth of Jesus with one eye on the baby and one on the resurrected Christ. Merry Christmas!
