Bringing Back Christmas to Israel
Yeshua words resonate powerfully with us as we enter this holiday season:
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’…
…’Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 25:31-46
For many, this holiday season is one of charity and showing kindness to the less fortunate, simply because it takes us back to the very roots of our faith, as well as God’s character. We see what Yeshua said about giving time and time again, emphasizing the importance of giving as an act itself being far more valuable than the outcome. It reveals the heart more than anything else, and that is what God is always after — our hearts.
We can attest to the outcome since we help feed people in need on regular basis: the smiling grateful faces that receive much-needed help is something that touches our hearts deeply. To see that and know that you are a blessing to someone, is truly our calling as believers, no matter what walk of life you’re from.
But the act of giving itself is so important because Yeshua Himself said that when you give to the least of His brethren… you GIVE TO HIM.
We should never lose sight of that: our giving is placed in the hands of precious people in need but is received by Yeshua himself.
So as we keep that in mind, we press forward during this holiday season to ensure we can gather as many givers as we can, who want to do something for the “least of Yeshua’s brethren”, so you can experience the joy of knowing you’ve done it FOR HIM.
This Christmas we are planning a celebration project, so we can help feed more families than ever, and we want to give these people and children the opportunity to experience true biblical Christmas for the first time ever in their life.
To be able to give a much-needed gift to someone who has never experienced Christmas, and to show him the Heart of God behind it… That is a sure way to reach someone with the love of God.
Will you prayerfully consider being a part of our Army of Givers this holiday season?
Whatever your gift is, Yeshua never looked at the gift itself, he looked and saw the heart behind it. He said whatever was done to the least of His brethren, was done for Him.
