Acts 3:20

“… and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you-even Jesus.”

Christ is the sent one. Mass simply means ‘Go you are sent’. Christ-Go you are sent. That is Christmas.
Christmas is a celebration of Christ who was sent and who sends you and me into the world as a mission light.

When Christ came it was after a time of 400 silent years where there had been no prophetic word from God. God’s people were going through a time of barrenness. That generation were groaning for a Messiah.
Christ is still sent to a world who are broken, in need of a Saviour and desperate for healing.
We celebrate His birth as answer to the world today.

But Christmas is about being sent.
And this verse today shows us He will be sent again.
However at that time it will be different from the first coming.
The previous verse shows us that Christ will return at a time of returning to God for His people. It will be a time when although the world will still be desperate God’s people will be refreshed and enjoying freedom!

In the mean time ask God to send you today as He sent Christ for you.
