This May Be the Case More Than Ever This Year

I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 

John 10:11 

At Christmas churches are filled with people who only come to church for Christmas and sometimes the regular attenders get a little bent out of shape because they may crowd them out of their regular seats.

And, Pastors sometimes make snide remarks about being glad to see all the visitors and that they will see them again at Easter.

All these Christmas people are a good thing.  It is a great opportunity for them to hear the Gospel and for us to extend the hand of Christian fellowship to them.  

Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He gave up His life for us.  The least we can do is willing give up our seats for His sheep.

So, get ready to celebrate Christmas with everyone who comes to worship the new born King.
