How Can We Share Christ at Christmas?

By: Kerry Beck

As men and women in Christ, we understand the meaning of Christmas in our hearts, but how many of us show this to the community during the holiday season? Through our little actions, we can show to the world that Christmas isn't only the season for commercialism and money-making but for love and sharing.

Share it. How about giving an unforgettable gift to a friend or fellow employee? Present them the gift of the Word. Tell the Christmas story, and make sure it's not "Twas the Night before Christmas". Brochure or leaflets recounting the birth of Jesus Christ can be bought from a Christian bookstore. Or, how about making your own booklet. A small token, such as a candle, can be included too. Envelope someone's tired heart with God's message.

Share His love. When someone invites a person to their house, it signifies that they wish to share their good fortune with them. When we accept Christ into our lives, his home becomes our home. Invite a friend or coworker to God's house for an Advent service or a family Christmas Eve church service. They will be glad they came.

Share it. For people living in poverty, it gets a little bit harder during the Christmas holidays. There is an increase in suicides. Those in dire need, like the impoverished and destitute, become more helpless due to the worsening weather conditions of winter. God wants us to show His love, especially to these people.

People always welcome volunteers during Christmas time. Soup kitchens and food banks look for an extra hand to help serve hot meals and to hand out food boxes. The social service agency can provide particulars on families in the area that want to be "adopted" for Christmas. As a church body, everyone can pitch in and provide gifts and other necessary items. Providing gifts for orphaned children can also be a church project or one taken on by individual families within the congregation. If you see a need that has yet to be met, begin your own program to provide it or just do it as a family.

The goal is to let your light shine in the life of another human being. During his days here on earth, Jesus met each person at their level of need. If you help someone they are more likely to listen to what you may tell them, especially when it concerns Christ.

A commitment to Christ is a commitment to communicate his life and love to others. If Christ is number one in your lives, your actions should let everyone know it. As Christians, we have a unique opportunity to bring to the world, a true understanding of the Christmas season.
