Shine God's Light During Christmas This Year
Take a trip through memory lane with us as we revisit last year’s Christmas episode of PRAISE. Join David and Nicole Binion and CeCe Winans as they sing some of your favorite Christmas carols! Let’s also take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas behind the tinsel and tunes.
There’s something incredibly special about this time of year. From snow-covered fir trees to palm trees dressed in Christmas lights, to the twinkle in kids’ eyes as they open presents, to the first sip of warm cinnamon apple cider, this season finds a way to bring out the best in our world.
Part of what makes Christmas so special is that people are generally more open to receiving God’s Word during this time of year than any time of year except for maybe Easter. Many Americans grew up in Christian homes or learned about Christ at church during this time of year. Let’s use this opportunity to share Jesus with them!
Another way that we can shine God’s light during Christmas and make a difference in peoples’ lives is by looking out for those who may need Christmas cheer. Maybe you know a single mom who’s struggling to pay bills or a college student who won’t be home for the holidays. There might be elderly folks in your nearby nursing home who don’t have families, or an ailing neighbor who needs a reminder that yes, Jesus loves them! For those who have lost loved ones, Christmas is a reminder of the loss and hurt they feel when they see that empty seat at the table. Let’s encourage those around us with the hope of our Savior and what His birth means for them!
As you listen to these Christmas carols recorded during last year’s Christmas episode of PRAISE, let the lyrics remind you of how special YOU are to our Savior!
