The Christmas Tree Lighting

Last night, with scores of people from The Shepherd Church, I watched as the Christmas tree was lit. It was beautiful to behold! As I was watching the lit Christmas tree, the Holy Spirit whispered to me that this is how a Christian looks to God when they have the 9 fruits of agape love (see Gal. 5:22-23) and the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit (see 1 Cor. 12). When a Christian has both the character of Christ, the holy fruits of Christ represented by the decorating ball ornaments, and the power of Christ, represented by the lights, there is no way the world can miss the Christ emanating from us.
