25 Days Of Christmas
DAY 18: SPREADING GOOD NEWS
Where To Start
Read Luke 2:16-20 and then watch the DAY EIGHTEEN video.
The shepherds worship God by faithfully and joyfully sharing the good news.
We are God’s instruments to spread the message around the world. The Gospel includes that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the grave. Be bold and faithful.
Mary pondered all of this in her heart. Reflection and meditation are part of worship as we go deeper with God.
During Christmas, never lose that sense of wonder and awe. The miracles and presence of God continue to stir our souls today.
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

PRAYER
Father God, thank You for choosing to use us to lead people to You. We are honored to represent You and be Your ambassadors. Forgive us for missed opportunities, for being silent, and for caring too much about our reputations and others’ approval. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for giving us power, love, and a sound mind. Enable Your servants to speak with boldness, we pray, in Jesus’ name, amen.
