There were so many signs that pointed to Jesus that first Christmas. There was the star pointing the way for the wise men. There were the angels who told the shepherds to look for a babe wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. There were all the prophecies Jesus fulfilled such as being born in Bethlehem. Everywhere you looked, bam! Sign. Sign. Sign. Little arrows pointing people toward the birth of a Savior and leading them to Jesus.
Would you believe me if I said God still uses signs today? That there was something (well, some things really) still pointing people to Christ at Christmas thousands of years after His birth? What if I told you the sign we’re all looking for is... us?
Yes, you and me. God made us the sign that points all people to a Savior. When Jesus ascended into heaven, He gave us this crazy gift of the Holy Spirit and an audacious commission to tell all the world about Him.
What a radical thing. We are now the stars showing His way. We are the ones shouting about His birth. God is holding us up in our communities, work places, homes, and churches saying, “Ok everyone, listen up. This is good news of great joy for all people. Today, in our town, this person right here has come alive in Christ. The way they live their life will be a sign to you. A sign of my love, goodness, and glory. I have come and I am still here. Can’t you see me in them?"
Putting God’s love, grace, and mercy on full display is a big job. So, we’re going to take the next month to get laser-focused on bringing the joy of Christmas from heaven into our home. We're going to live out the intent behind Advent, simplify this season, reflect, and party.
I can’t wait to start this journey with you, your Bible study group, and family. I’m ready in my flannel pj’s with some hot cocoa. The cartoon version of the Grinch is playing in the background (aka my kids are adequately distracted). Now, let’s zero in on how God wants to use you to shine His light in this season.
Are you ready? December, here we come!
