Over this season of Christmas I have been listening intently to the readings from Scripture, the sermons, the homilies, and the prayers of the Church...
I have heard messages like ‘Prepare the way of The Lord’...‘Repent and believe the Good News’... ‘O come, O come, Emmanuel’... ‘A Savior is born’... 'God With Us'.......and several other impressionable themes...!!!
These words and thoughts got me to think, ‘Are we EFFECTIVELY telling the story’...???
If we truly are disciples of Christ, we need to follow Him and PROCLAIM BOLDLY ‘The Good News’...both by WORD and EXAMPLE...
Now, I don’t intend this post to be a condemnation of Christians, but rather AN ENCOURAGEMENT for all of us to be WORTHY BEARERS OF THE GOOD NEWS...Yes, SINNERS WE ARE, Christ knows that, but yet He still desired for us to invite Him into our lives.......AND HE STILL DOES TODAY...
THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS WE NEED TO PROCLAIM...!!!
We are not called to be PROSELYTIZERS but EVANGELIZERS...!!!
Let us accept His invitation, and through His AMAZING GRACE become faithful bearers of THE GOOD NEWS...always with the kernel of longing within that cries out: MARANA THA...COME LORD JESUS...!!!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...AND A HAPPY AND JOYFUL NEW YEAR...!!!
