As our world eliminates Christ from the reason we celebrate Christmas take a stand in your home and neighborhood. Just as in Exodus 12 the Israelites painted their doorposts as a sign that they were believers, “paint” the doorpost of your home by placing a nativity set in your window, on your lawn, your porch, or your car (kcnativitysets.com). Amidst the snowmen and reindeer and non-religious symbols of a secular celebration, take this opportunity to reclaim the true meaning of the Christmas holiday.
As grandparents we have an opportunity to teach our grandchildren and our neighbors the real meaning of Christmas. We can share the greatest story ever told of Christ’s miraculous birth, death and resurrection that gives all believers eternal life. Get your nativity set out and let the world know that “as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).
