Merry Christmas

"No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light." Luke 11:33

The day Jesus Christ was born, God showed us the light. He didn't hide it under a bowl he put it all out there for the world to see just as the above verse illustrates.

But the question to my fellow Christians is this... Are we, as followers of Christ, being the light to others?

If you asked non believers to describe a Christian, you'd probably get hundreds of different adjectives and few of them would be complimentary.

So as we celebrate the birth of our savior, the light, use this day to evaluate who you are as a Christian. Not how you measure up on the sin score sheet but on the "light" sheet. Are you being a light for people so that they can really get who Jesus was/is through who you are.

Remember Jesus hung out with the tax collectors and prostitutes, not the religious types. Why? Because he knew these were the people who most needed to see the light. So I challenge all of my fellow Christians to not be a judge of others lives but to be the light just as Jesus is the light to us.
