This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Executive & Teaching PastorThis week we looked at Christmas through the eyes of the shepherds. Two key things come out of the story of the announcement to the shepherds. The first is humility. God gives grace to the humble, but opposes the proud. We know that, but what does humility before God look like to you? How do you know when you are walking in humility with God? Let's learn about that together.
The second is witness. A witness just simply tells what they know. So let me ask, "If someone asked you to be a witness to the things of Christ in your life, what would you say?" And if you are like the shepherds, you don't even wait to be asked - you just talk about Jesus in your life - you talk about what you have seen and heard.
This Christmas let's apply the lessons we've learned so far. Last week it was trust. In what areas do I need to trust God even if it seems outlandish? This week it is humility and witness. My prayer for each of us this Christmas season is that we might not just look at Christmas through their eyes, but we might live Christmas the way they lived Christmas.
God Bless you this week.
