We often say that Christmas is filled with “WONDER.” Usually what we are talking about is how
little kids are reacting to the sights & the sounds of seeing big trees lit
up or when they see a present with their name on it. I suppose they have wonder about such things
because they only get them or see them occasionally.
But we know that the Reason for the season, the only One who
can provide lasting wonder in our lives is Jesus Christ. Everything else, the decorations, the gifts
and such only delight us for a moment.
But what does “wonder” really mean? It is being so impressed with something that
you wonder how it could have happened.
How did they build the pyramids? It’s
a wonder! How did man fly to the
moon? A wonder! More importantly, why did God send His only
Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins??
That’s the greatest wonder of all!
But there are more wonders.
Wonders which are yet to come.
The Bible speaks often about Signs & Wonders being performed through
believers by God and by the Holy Spirit.
Signs and wonders include miracles and supernatural deeds of all kinds.
And so I leave you with this. If this is a season of wonder, shouldn’t it
be our job to fill the lives of others with signs and wonders? And not just by presenting those we care
about with greetings and gifts, but by truly ministering to them to the point
that they “wonder” how God could care about them so much as to touch them by
sending you as His vessel to their life and situation for such a time as this!?
So go and prophesy, go and pray for people, go and speak the
good news, go and make Christmas a miracle for somebody by walking in the power
of God through the Holy Spirit! Then it
will truly be a Merry Christmas, filled with Joy and Wonder because of your
faithfulness as an agent of wonder!
