Christmas
If the Lord's return is a bit different than we thought (flying
out of here in the literal isn't exactly what He meant) we would
be ashamed for Him to return at Christmas; seeing us celebrate
His birth the same way pagans do. Christmas would/should never
be the same again.
When we consider giving gifts of love, do we think of pretty
packages to go under the tree or do we consider what Jesus would
give; things like sharing the gift of salvation, meeting a need
of the heart, reaching lost sheep? And, didn't He say that there
would always be poor among us?
So, if it is Jesus' birth we're celebrating, shouldn't our
gifts be to Jesus or on behalf of Jesus? If such a needed gift
would come in a package, so be it. But, with Jesus present,
there would never be a Christmas gathering to show off
