DATES TO REMEMBER

Dear TLS Campus community,

Christmas - A Time of Giving or Receiving? One of the things we try to teach our children is how to be “givers” not “takers.” Christmas is a great time to think about giving. We may have tried to do this in practical ways by baking Christmas cookies for others, gathering up old toys and clothes for Goodwill or making donations to Lutheran Community Care or Kind Hearted Kitchen for food for needy families in our community. This is definitely a season of giving, but is Christmas less about giving and more about receiving? On the surface it seems like receiving is easy and giving is hard, but not when it comes to our relationship with God. We naturally want

to give something to God to impress Him and make Him happy with us. It’s as if there’s an innate desire in us to get God on our side by doing something for Him. If we give our time, our money, and our gifts to Him,

then He will smile on us. And so, at Christmas time you see people volunteering at soup kitchens and dropping money in the Salvation Army buckets feeling good about themselves because they sense that God is happy with them. Don’t get me wrong. These are good

things, but is this what God really wants from us this Christmas? Ever since the beginning of civilisation, people have fallen into the lie that religion is man reaching up to God instead of God reaching down to man. Just like the people of Israel, we think that God needs our gifts and offerings, but God isn’t impressed with what we give Him. He doesn’t depend on these things, because true religion is not giving to God. It is responding to God with thanksgiving for the grace He has given to us. It is receiving from God, not giving to God. This Christmas we want to teach our children to be givers. But we also want to teach them to be receivers. We want them to receive the grace of God given to them in the gospel. We want them to receive this King who was willing to come down to them so that they would not have to reach up to Him. We want them to receive Jesus more than anything. We want this for them, because of the promise in John 1:12-13: “But to all who received Him (Jesus), to all who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
