Rv18

It is an abrupt thing to read revelation 18 on Christmas Eve. Babylon was destroyed for her sinfulness and refusal to honor and worship the One true God. Babylon wallowed in wealth and sexual immorality. She refused to worship God. It makes me wonder how similar Babylon and America are.

This is the time we should worship Jesus' coming! Christmas is celebrated because of Jesus. But I wonder. Will there be much worship happening today and tomorrow? Will we truly give honor to the things that are honorable, or will we simply shower gifts on ourselves? Giving more to those who already have more than 99.9 % of the rest of the world?

If we were to celebrate Christ's coming in a way that would truly honor Him, what would be different? How would we refocus our energy? It's something to consider. 

Worship Jesus today.
