Tis the season to get down!  The getting down I refer to is that of Christ in us.  John the Apostle says it like this …

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.” (1 John 3:16) 

Pride (arrogance) has no room in our lives as Christians (little Christ’s).  We need to learn to make room for humility … the “getting down” in that lowly position that allows the nature of Christ to be seen in us.  This Christmas season let me encourage us to “get down” with Christ in CHRISTmas! He came down for us, let’s get down for Him! So  let’s be those witnesses to Him in our Jerusalem’s and Judea’s and everywhere else.  This time of year so many Christians GET UP rather than getting down, in the old adage of “They’re trying to take Christ out of Christmas!”  Don’t buy into the world’s scheme of trying to make you rude, arrogant and mean.  Too many argue with the world and they end up taking Christ out of Christmas by failing to be a good news witness to Christ.  Remember such attitudes have no room in our lives. Let humility flourish of which Christ demonstrates the laying down of his life for us. Look around … love Christ by showing love for others.  Find some person or family that you can do well for and then boldly tell them you do this in the name of Christ for them.  Let’s GET DOWN and let Christ of Christmas shine in our words and deeds!

Isaiah 9:6 ESV For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Peace & Glorify~
