Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Have you ever heard the true story of Ol’ Saint Nick? We know him well as the fabled “Santa Claus,” but Saint Nickolas was actually a real person. And he loved Jesus and he had a special place in his heart the poor. He lived and served in the area of the world now known as Turkey during the time of the Roman Empire. And after becoming a priest, Saint Nickolas devoted his life to helping the least fortunate of the communities he traveled through. It is well documented that he distributed gifts to needy children and served the impoverished his whole life. He served because he followed a God who deeply cares about people—especially the poor, orphaned, and widowed. As we too are encouraged this Christmas season to serve others, let’s also share the reason we serve and follow Jesus—the Good News of the Gospel. Let’s share this hope with those around us!
