Putting Christ Back In Christmas
by Gerri Nash

The world has taken Christ out of Christmas. They have substituted “Xmas” for “Christmas”. But as Christian, we should put Christ back in Christmas. What I mean is that we should exemplify Christ this Christmas to our loved ones and to all those we come in contact with.

The following are a few things of what Xmas means to the world:

  • Wish to have more money to buy more expensive gifts
  • Rush and run around in a frenzy to buy as much as you can
  • Think not about lending a helping hand to someone who is in need
  • Attend as many parties and social events that you can
  • Worry, feel depressed and frustrated
  • Drink, eat and drink some more

The following are a few things of what Christmas should mean to the Christian:

  • Tell someone about Jesus
  • Praise and worship the Lord for who He is
  • Lend a helping hand to someone who’s in need
  • Give a word of encouragement to those around you
  • Spend time with family and loved ones
  • Visit the elderly or someone who may be lonely

Isaiah 9:6 says, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”.

Luke 2:8-11 says, “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord”. 

John 3:16,17 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved”. 

Let’s put “Christ” back into Christmas.
