As Wesleyans, we believe God has bound together all people, no matter how different, by creating each of us in God's image. As Christians and followers of Jesus Christ, we must be prepared to share the gospel of Jesus Christ at any time and in any place to all of God's children. Jesus crossed all barriers to share the gospel, and we who follow him, must do not less.

"My brothers and sisters, what good is it if people say they have faith but do nothing about it" (James 2: 14)

"This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed."

A baby coming into a world that was in turmoil. His country was occupied by a foreign military force with the citizens being taxed heavily to support this presence. The local authorities weren't doing anything to ease the daily burdens of life. Hunger, poverty and homelessness were rampant. To the have-nots all seemed hopeless with no relief in sight.

We are not the source of God's light; we merely reflect that light. Jesus is the true light; he helps us see our way to God and shows us how to walk along that way.

Imagine Jesus talking to his disciples and saying that there was once a lazy husband named Scott whose wife went away for a few days. She left him in charge of the house telling him that she wasn't sure when she would be home but to be alert and don't get caught short. You don't want to be that guy. You don't want to be Scott.
