Scripture: John 8:31, 32
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Observation:
What is Jesus trying to say in these two verses?
Basically he’s saying that if you believe in what he has said then you believe in what is true. But it goes farther than just believing in what is true; you have to act on what is true.
How can these verses relate to Christmas?
Application:
What Christmas traditions does your family have?
Is your Christmas focused around Santa, reindeer, trees and gifts?
Or do you and your family focus on the true (and perfect!) gift of Christmas?
…which is Jesus!
For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Prayer:
Make sure to keep your Christmas focus on Christ. Christmas is always busy with school and family, but remember to set aside time to spend with God. Give God all your praise and thankfulness for giving us the perfect Christmas gift…Jesus.
