Tonight we talked about the real meaning of Christmas. the world teaches us that Christmas is about money, about giving or getting gifts, or about family. And it is true that it is fun to have money and fun to spend it on others as well as recieve things we don't have. It is also fun (usually) to spend time with our families but that isn't what christmas is about. Luke 2:1-20 tells us that Christmas is about Jesus coming to this earth as our savior. It is good news for us becuase it shows God's love for us. It is when God came to us to save us since we couldn't get to Him on our own. If I could define christmas with one word it would be: HOPE!We lieve in a very hopeless world. There are wars, homelessness, rape, drugs, fights, fear, abuse, etc... Your world might feel hopeless too. Maybe your family is falling apart, or you freinds have been fighting, maybe you are failing school, depressed, lonely, and lost. No matter how bad your life is, no matther how dark your world gets there is hope. God can burst through that darkness in your life and bring light. If you let him in your life, let him take control of the situations, no matther how bad things are, with God there is always hope! Just as he came to this world over 2000 years ago, bringing hope to a very dark world, he can come into yoru heart and bring hope ino your very dark life.
I Give Tonight: A+
Favorite Moment: (Tie) Shin kicking, Cross lighting, or Sticking tongue to metal story
