learning DAILY

Mark 8:29, He said to them, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and 

                  said to Him, “You are the Christ.”

What are we to do with Christmas?  People still need to decide for themselves how they are going to respond to the Lord’s question, “Who do you say that I am?  I do not know who reads this daily or from time to time; I assume you have answered this question already.  My concern is for those who don’t have an answer, have not heard about His love and grace, or have just rejected Him.  I am also concerned about those who have responded as Peter did.  The response needs to be followed by growth, continuing toward maturity in the Lord, perfection.  Both Paul and Peter mention in their writing that this was a problem in their day – they wanted to move their followers to the “meat of the Word” but could not because they only wanted the milk of the Word.

The acceptance of the One born to be Savior of the world is the first step, the most important decision one will make.  It is to be followed by spending time daily in God’s Word, prayer, good works, telling others the Good News through words, action and obedience. 

As the tree is taken down, lights and decorations are put away, the spirit of Christmas must continue all year long.  Believers are to continue to grow in their knowledge and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, sharing the “best news ever” (Yes, I borrowed that from a contemporary Christian song by MercyMe).  Christmas, the birth of Christ, should be lived each day through each of us.
