Go and Tell!

Posted on 01 Dec 2019, Pastor: Rev. Derek Geldart

It is hard to believe that Christmas is almost here! Just the thought of getting hugs from loved ones, giving gifts and breaking one’s diet to eat mountains of food makes me quiver with excitement. As grand as these “traditions” might be they pale in comparison to the thought that over 2,000 years ago our Savior was born and provided the means of reconciliation with a holy God! While this truth makes one’s heart leap with overwhelming joy, one can’t help but feel a sad that for many in this world the birth of their Savior is the furthest thing from their minds! Despite the testimony of nature and God’s holy word for many people their “commercial Christmas” leaves no room for giving their heart over to Jesus! While they will ultimately be held accountable for rejecting Jesus on His birthday one can’t help but think that those who are His ambassadors will also be held accountable for sharing the Good News that all can be reconciled and adopted into God’s family! The following sermon is going to look at Zechariah’s song in hope that it will challenge us to share the best gift ever given to humanity with the world!
