I believe the Gospel can be summed up in one sentence, "Find a Need and Meet it"...
Most of us understand that the concept of gift-giving came from the wise men's visit to the childhood home of Jesus. However, the majority of society seldom seizes the opportunity to give our own gifts to Christ. Maybe, some of us never even knew the potential to actually give Jesus a gift existed. If so, then I would like to introduce you to a life-changing concept.
Jesus once stated, "...if you have done it unto the least of these you have done it unto me." How incredible it is to think that when we clothe the naked, feed the hungry, care for an orphan or even visit an in-mate, we are actually bestowing gifts upon Jesus!
This Christmas season, remember once and for all the actual Reason for the Season. I invite you to join me in returning to the discarded values from which the concept of Christmas was first instituted into our culture. May the Holy Spirit grant us the grace and prosperity to search out the less fortunate and find the true joy of life. May we live out the reality of Scripture's finest principle, "It is more blessed to give, than to receive..." as we find needs and meet them!
