An Empty Life

So many people are surviving, but not really living. Christmas movies and TV shows depict the holidays as being about presents and Santa Claus. But the holiday is so much bigger than any of that. Jesus didn’t come to fill your empty stocking, He came to fill your empty life. And mine, too! Jesus came because He has a purpose and plan for each of us. He wants to give us life that is abundant, and filled with grace and love. Jesus wants to bring you joy and peace regardless of your circumstances. The trouble is, so many people have missed out on hearing this. This Christmas, as you encounter friends and family who don’t know Jesus, I encourage you to have courage to start a conversation about Him. Start by telling them about the peace you yourself have in Jesus. Then, share about the true meaning of Christmas… John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” Sharing the Good News is the best gift you could possibly give someone this year, because it affects our lives today and it affects our eternity. So share the Good News this holiday season, won’t you? What a gift that is! This is Luis Palau.
