Recognition.

More and more we are hearing of government, groups, people, companies, etc. that are doing all they can to do away with Christmas. Not surprising at all. What is surprising is the lack of back bone we have as believers. How do we keep it alive? We live it and share it!!! Fact is that every person we look at, could be Christ on earth today. He lives within us and has told us that what we do to our brothers we do to Him.
Here is your stone!! "He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him." (John 1:10 NIV). Today, I challenge all of us to seek Christ in those around us. To live out how He has called is to live. Be bold in Love. Shake a hand and say Merry Christmas. Look people in the eyes. Give a gift card to McDonalds to a needy person. Note this " the world did not recognize him." and as a result, they crucified our savior. How similar that sounds today. Doing away with our belief because it offends someone?? I say this., Praise Jesus and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
