Seekers

 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

John 1:1-5

Christmas is one big, free spending celebration in the United States. Almost everybody celebrates it; even people do not know what they are celebrating. For many people Christmas has no religious significance. It is all gifts and parties.  We could say, "The lights are on, but nobody is home."  

But what if all this celebrating is a good thing?  

In the midst of all this revelry, there are seekers, who like the Wise Men, are looking for God. 

The celebration of Christmas brings the Gospel to everyone's front door.  A glimpse of the baby in the manger reminds us that the reason we are celebrating is that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to us to teach us and to ultimately redeem us from our sins.   

We are the hands of Jesus on earth, and it is our job to help the seekers understand who He is: Our Lord Master and Savior.
