Wealth, Poverty, and Christmas

2nd Corinithians 8:9
For you know the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.

During the Christmas Season we feel pressure to spend, spend, spend. Our culture tells us it is all about the stuff--the packages, the presents, the gadgets.

I think this guy says it really well, from this project called Advent Consipracy:
an international movement restoring the scandal of Christmas by worshipping Jesus through compassion, not consumption.

See the video here: Advent Conspiracy

Question to ponder:
How can you worship Jesus through compassion this Christmas rather than give into the pressure to buy and consume?
