What You’ll Learn:
Ask ten Americans what Christmas means to them and you’ll get ten different answers. Our culture’s understanding of the holiday has often shifted from a season celebrating Christ’s birth to a focus on decorations and gift-giving. How can we as Christians point others toward the true meaning of Christmas? First, emphasize Christmas Day as a birthday, not just a day to gather with family. When “birthday” is mentioned, it drives the conversation to Jesus rather than a personal focus. Second, practice giving to those in need this Christmas. When people ask what you are doing, emphasize your desire to give to those in need because you love Jesus. Use your influence to remind others of God’s perfect gift of His only son.
