Description

In this special episode, I share a Christmas message with you.

Jesus’ birth story demonstrates that He was no ordinary, earthly King. He is humble, servant King who came to love, serve, and save others. His beginnings were humble. Jesus’ parents were poor and He was born in an insignificant village, Bethlehem. When He was only a toddler, He became a refugee along with His parents.

Jesus associated Himself with the poor, the despised, the lowly, and the refugee. And this has implications for us:

1. As Jesus’ disciples and citizens of His kingdom, we too must view and treat people the way Jesus does.
2. If you feel unloved or unimportant, or if you’ve been treated badly, remember that Jesus empathizes with you. He loves you and came to earth to sacrifice Himself for you.

Our salvation, our adoption into God’s household, and our citizenship in His kingdom are gifts from our Father in heaven. Let this Christmas season remind you that you could receive these gifts only because of Jesus’ sacrificial love for you. Let us remember that just as He is not of this world, we too are not of this world. We are called to follow His example and show radical love toward the poor, the needy, the refugee, and the outcast.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
