The Christmas season is the perfect time to share the love of Jesus with those around us. It’s a season of giving, hope, and joy - values that align beautifully with the gospel. 🦌, ❄️, ⛄
Here are three tips to help you share the Good News while going the extra mile to serve others this Christmas:
1. Be a Living Example of Christ’s Love 🕯️
People are often more open to the message of Jesus when they see it reflected in action. Look for ways to serve others this season:
- Bake or Cook for Someone in Need: Bring a warm meal or treat to a neighbour, co-worker, or friend who might be struggling.
- Offer Your Time: Help someone put up their decorations, run errands, or babysit for a parent who needs a break.
As you serve, share that your actions are inspired by the love of Christ and the joy of the season. Simple gestures often open the door to deeper conversations.
2. Use the Christmas Story as a Conversation Starter 🎁
The story of Jesus’ birth is one of hope, miracles, and redemption—perfect themes to share during Christmas gatherings.
- When talking about the nativity, highlight the humble beginnings of our Savior and the incredible love that led Him to earth.
- If someone mentions holiday traditions, take the opportunity to talk about how they reflect the deeper meaning of Christmas, like giving gifts to honour God’s greatest gift to us - His Son.
Remember, your joy and excitement about the story can be contagious!
3. Go the Extra Mile with Intentional Giving 💝
Use your giving this Christmas to point others to Jesus:
- Thoughtful Gifts with Meaning: Choose gifts that reflect your faith, like a Bible, a devotional, or even a fun, faith-inspired item like our Pixel Art Jesus Christmas Sweater. These can be great conversation starters about why your faith matters to you.
- Generosity That Reflects God’s Heart: Support a family in need, give to a charity that shares the gospel, or invite someone who might feel alone to celebrate with you.
When you go above and beyond to meet someone’s needs or show care, you reflect the heart of Christ. Take those moments to share the hope you’ve found in Him.
This Christmas, let’s not just celebrate Jesus - let’s share Him. By being intentional in how we serve and speak, we can make a lasting impact in the lives of those around us. After all, Jesus is the reason for the season, and what better gift to share than His love?
