Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Have you ever seen the face of a child on Christmas morning? The joy that fills their eyes is absolutely contagious. In Luke 18, we read where Jesus rebukes his disciples and tells them to let the children come to him. Can you imagine the scene? The disciples were probably feeling a bit annoyed by these pesky little children trying to get a peek at Jesus. Peter might have even said something like, “Back away; we’ve got important things to do.” But Jesus says, “Let the children come.” At that moment, the disciples had to release all the children so they could push in and get close to Jesus. I’m sure they would have had the same joyous look in their eyes as I see children have on Christmas morning. This Christmas, let’s remember the reason why we celebrate and let’s also remember to let the children come to Jesus by sharing the most important gift of all with them, the free gift of salvation.
