From the Manger to the World!

"And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'" -Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)
Our Christmas preparations often focus on celebrating the arrival of Jesus Christ.  We set up a nativity or manger scene to remind us of God's gift of His Son.  God sent His Son and we should celebrate that gift, but we also need to be committed to more than celebrating the arrival of baby Jesus!

The birth of Jesus began a series of events that changed the course of human history.  The miraculous acts of Jesus show us the power and glory of God in human form.  The death and resurrection of Jesus gives us salvation and hope.  Our faith in God and Jesus present us with a responsibility to help others know Jesus.  We cannot simply introduce others to the newborn baby lying in a manger.  We need to help others know Jesus as He grew, as He performed miracles, and as a being that is alive and active in our lives today!  The birth of Jesus loses meaning when we neglect the rest of His story, so while we celebrate His birth we can't forget what His life means for our lives!

The story of Jesus' coming to earth started in the manger, but we need to share the rest of His story and sacrifice with the entire world!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the gift of Your Son.  Help me to be able to spread His story, message, and love to others throughout the world.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
