In Narnia, it is always winter but never Christmas until Father Christmas appears.

The men and elves defending Helm’s Deep face overwhelming numbers of Saruman’s orcs until Gandalf’s arrival with the dawn in The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien and Lewis’ visions of worlds dominated by a sinister power aren’t so far removed from our situation. As Lewis powerfully pointed out in Mere Christianity, we live in enemy-occupied territory. It’s just that we sometimes forget this. Our nation is contested. A battle is being fought for our streets, our towns, our cities – our homes and our families. This is why I’m so inspired by my good friend J.John’s passion after all his years in ministry, and I hope that you are too. J.John is an example to all of us of someone whose fire is still burning brightly to make a difference and to share the amazing grace he’s been given. This is exactly why we exist at iBelieve. We want to get the good news into the hands of as many people as possible. We’ve been at it for decades, but I – like J.John – see something new on the horizon. We live in a nation that needs revival. In Charlotte Gambill’s terms, we’re in the middle: we’re in desperate need of a miraculous touch from God. That’s exactly the time that we shouldn’t lose hope, though. Father Christmas appears. Gandalf arrives. Christ came and he will come again. We might be living in dark days in the middle of the miracle, but we have a sure and steadfast hope. That’s a hope that we need to share. J.John is undoubtedly right that witness is far more important than we’ve let it become. Let’s pray anew for a revival, care for the people around us and share the gospel with them: it might be as simple as passing on your copy of iBelieve.
