Firstly let me take the opportunity to wish everyone a happy Christmas and an awesome new year!
Got to share a little story, inspired by the passage in Matt 25, where Jesus talked about the sheep and the goats. One of the lines is when did you feed the hungry... or visit me in jail ...
After hearing this in a recent Christmas message a lady from our church got inspired, called the local prison and asked if she could take in a pile of baking to share with the prisoners on Christmas day. Turns out you're not actually allowed to take in home backing, something about what could be baked inside it! But totally sweet if its from a shop and fully sealed! She told the Church, and a couple of days ago, 4 really large bags headed into the prison.
For me thats really what Christmas is all about, its so easy to give gifts to those we care about, and thats a good thing. I guess what made me go wow with this story is it is so inline with the way Jesus taught us to act. Was a challenge for me, what am i doing this Christmas to honour the teaching and life of Jesus?
