Several years ago, our church participated in the Advent Conspiracy, an effort to reclaim Christmas as believers. Today, I remind myself and you what it is we are about this season...
1) Worship Fully
2) Spend Less
3) Give More
4) Love All
Isn't this what Jesus taught us by coming? The people had been walking in darkness without a Savior...they knew only in part. With the arrival of Jesus, they knew FULLY. So let us in turn worship fully. Jesus gave his life to meet the needs of others, and in the end, gave us ALL. We, in turn, must give more. Love all...pretty much says it all. Jesus did not come for the elite, or even just for the poor. Jesus came as a Savior of ALL people, so why should we withhold from the rich? From the poor? From our own family members?
Let us take to heart the message of Advent--seek with hope, be at peace, share joy, love all...and Christ will come....again and again.
