Jesus’ Christmas List…




What would Jesus really like for Christmas?

  • Humility from every leader of countries, companies, churches, and families. 
  • Acts of Kindness toward the least of these – those hungry, thirsty, homeless, needy, sick, and in prison.
  • Republicans to say kind words about Democrats.  Democrats to say kind words about Republicans.  The whole “love your enemies” thing.
  • Less greed, more generosity.
  • Repentance.
  • His church to have “a little less talk and a lot more action.”
  • Courage for His church to risk more for mission.
  • Less stress around His birthday and more time with Him.
  • His people to be joyful and hopeful.
  • Followers that follow and worshippers that worship.
  • Everyone to have a childlike moment of wonder at His world.
  • Hard headed people to be soft hearted.
  • You to give grace to other the way He gives grace to you.
  • A spiritual adventure with you.
  • Real conversation when you listen as much as you talk to Him.

And most of all – Jesus wants You.  He wants relationship with you.  He wants you to be forgiven.  He wants you to know grace.

Anything on the list you can give Him?

Grace,
Clay
