A DAY FOR JESUS

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”

Matthew 1: 21 King James Version

We have Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, Valentine’s Day, and our birthday, but we don’t have a day set apart for Jesus. You might think that Christmas is set apart for Jesus, but in most cases that is not true. We might give Him an hour at church, but the rest of day we do what we want to do.

When we celebrate Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and someone’s birthday, we usually devote most of the day to the occasion. We need to have a day that we devote just to Him. The Bible says in Matthew 25:40 “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” This is how we can make Jesus happy by encouraging, calling, and visiting people.

Jesus has done so much for us and continues daily to do things for us. Can’t we set apart just one day for Him? We may never get it on the calendar, but we as Christians can set apart a day just for Jesus and then every year keep that day just for Him.

How we must hurt Jesus when we go about our busy schedules and ignore Him most of the day, only fitting Him in when it is convenient for us. One day, we will see Him face to face and I don’t want to see the hurt and sadness in my Saviour’s Eyes because I ignored Him most of the day.
