Advent Devotion – 12/17/2010

Posted on 12/17/1007/31/18 by Steve

December 17, 2010 – Our Gifts to God: Witness

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and far away
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

The shepherds all were watching
Over their sheep at night
When a guiding star shone from heaven
And the followed that holy light

Got tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
They found a lovely manger
Where the humble Christ was born
And God sent out salvation
On that blessed Christmas morn

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

He brought with Him forgiveness
He live to show us the way
He came to redeem all creation
And to wash all our sins away

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Devotion:

The song says it all! I remember as a child that after Christmas, we always had show and tell – we brought one of our presents to school to show to everyone. We could hardly wait to share about our special toy!

What would the world be like if we were as excited about sharing about Jesus? I know I hesitate too many times out of fear. We don’t need to be pushy or stand on street corners (or even on mountains and hills) but we do need to show that Jesus makes a difference in our lives and be a witness to that fact.

How has knowing Jesus changed you? Have you told anyone? Who will you tell?

Father, Your Son called us to be His witnesses to all the earth. And yet we are afraid too many times. Perfect love casts out all fear. You are love. Cast out our fear and give us the boldness to tell it on the mountain, over the hills, and everywhere. In the Name of Jesus Christ, who was and is and is yet to come. Amen
