Every time we say, “Merry Christmas” it gives a reason for the hope we have. At least, it should. It should say we honor Christ in our hearts. It should say His birth has led to us being born again. It should say the end result is our eternal joy in Him. When we say it, people should see we mean it. Because we back up our words with our lives by shining His light into a dark and dreary world full of people in desperate need for an answer to their inescapable brokenness. This year, let’s do more than say the words, “Merry Christmas.” Let’s also do things for others in the name of Jesus to make their Christmas a merry one.
