TELL THE WORLD

December 25, 2013 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Philipians 1:18 (GWT)-But what does it matter? Nothing matters except that, in one way or another, people are told the message about Christ, whether with honest or dishonest motives, and I'm happy about that.

So many people celebrate Christmas, but totally forget about Christ. Others won't participate because they believe that it has some ties with idolatry. The question to really ask is -what is the essence of Christmas?

For the Christian, Christmas is the opportunity to tell the world about our Lord Jesus and his sacrifice of love for everyman. It is an opportunity to Show others the love of Christ.

Paul, while in prison encountered those who preached the gospel for selfish reasons. He clearly stated that he doesn't care about their motives as long as they keep preaching Jesus. Even if the origin of Christmas is still unclear to you, don't antagonise the celebration, seize the opportunity. Tell the world about Christ.

Action point

Ensure that you tell at least two people about Christ today.
