Papa Panov's Special Christmas
In today's sermon, Mike spoke about a favourite story: Papa Panov's Special Christmas, by Leo Tolstoy. The main Christian theme in this Christmas story is that by serving Jesus by following his example, we serve each other. The voice of Jesus comes to Papa Panov at the end, paraphrasing Matthew, Chapter 25 v40, saying, "I was hungry and you fed me. I was naked and you clothed me. I was cold and you warmed me. I came to you today in everyone of those you helped and welcomed."
