Christmas seems so backwards, doesn't it? People suddenly become extra generous (except my 3 year old who would rather get than give). We give to organizations that help under-privileged people. We drop money in the Salvation Army buckets. We give our time to serve at soup kitchens and food pantries. Companies give their employees bonus checks.
But where did all of this backwards thinking begin? Why is this holiday known as Christmas so much different than any other time of the year? Why is this season marked with generosity?
We're going to unpack this idea over the next couple weeks at VIBE. We're going to look at the most generous gift ever given to our world. Join us Sunday nights from 5:45-7:15 pm central.
