I recall talking to an atheist once and he said “if Jesus came to my house and walked across my swimming pool, then I’ll believe”. He was looking for a sign. The Lord offered to let Ahaz name a sign. But he would not put the Lord to the test. Notice then in Isaiah 7:14 that God in His grace provides the sign. Christ at Christmas! Jesus’ birth was prophesized. It was a clear sign that splits time from BC to AD. But more than that Jesus provides the only way man can be saved from his sin! This Christmas, go tell everyone you know, and everyone you meet, that Jesus is the reason for the season!
Christmas is probably the easiest time of the year to share the Gospel because most people celebrate Christmas regardless of whether they are Christian or not. Therefore it is a great opportunity to explain to them the true meaning of Christmas. One easy way to share the Gospel this time of year is simply to smile, say “Merry Christmas”, and then hand them a Gospel tract. Most people will just take the tract from you and say thanks! Try it. You might be surprised how easy it is to strike up a conversation with someone this way.
You might check the events calendar in your town to see if there are any special events coming up. Perhaps there is a parade where you could hand out tracts and candy canes. Perhaps a group from your church will go door to door to sing Christmas Carols and you could hand a tract to someone at each house. Or maybe you’ll just be going to the mall to shop and need some extra tracts to hand out.
Instead of just wishing people “Merry Christmas” on Facebook, why not send them a Christmas card in the mail. The ones we receive are really meaningful. When you send the Christmas card you can also include a Gospel tract! It’s a simple way to witness to your friends and family. We have more Christmas tracts on hand. If you can use more, please submit a request online.
For a $5 donation to Bezeugen Ministries we will send you 100 tracts. Use the enclosed donation envelope to make your request. To avoid delays with the postal system, you might prefer to make your request online at http://donate.bezeugen.org. Larger quantities are available as well. Please consult the website for details.
Are you feeling fearful when it comes to sharing the Gospel? Bezeugen Ministries provides a free two hour “Basic Evangelism Training Seminar”. If you’d like live or in person training feel free to call us and we can see about visiting you, or doing something live online. In the meantime, we have a recording of our seminar that you can watch on your own or with a group of friends. The recording can be found on Rumble or YouTube.
