What Would Jesus Say to Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer (137)

December 13, 2022

In Episode 137, we continue with part two of our Christmas series. You can resonate with the message if you have been rejected like Rudolph. Seeing how light exposes and black hides, some individuals naturally prefer the latter. People hate it when their faults are brought to light. Seeing the light makes people nervous that they'll be mocked or rejected by their peers.


Unfortunately for Rudolph, his glowing red nose caused him to be teased and even shunned by his fellow animals. We all know that at first, they were hostile to his light. Even making fun of him for trying to help others, they mocked his use of his light. The same thing occurs here; we may face ridicule for being ourselves, but we must do it anyhow.


Tune in now, and let’s go bigger, better, and deeper!
