THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL
No greater gift has ever been given, no example of generosity so selfless. No time in human history was ever so important as when the Light of the World entered His own creation. The prophesied and long-hoped-for Messiah came for us, our glorious Prince of Peace, full of grace and truth and bearing the gift of eternal life.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. – John 1:14
While many of us both give and receive gifts during the Christmas season, God gave us a gift we will never be able to repay. In exchange for our sins and shame, God offered us eternal salvation by sending His son, Jesus Christ, to earth as our Savior. All we can do in return is accept this remarkable gift and pursue a relationship with the greatest gift-giver of all.
Yes, at Christmas we celebrate the birthday of Jesus more than 2,000 years ago. But who was Jesus? The Bible tells us Jesus was the Son of God, who came down from heaven to give us the greatest gift any person can ever receive—the gift of eternal life. By nature we are separated from God because of our sins, but Jesus came to take away our sins and make us part of God’s family forever. The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
This Christmas, your loved ones will probably receive many gifts from you. You will have done everything possible to give them to them —choosing them, paying for them, wrapping them and offering them to them. But they won’t really be until they actually takes them and makes them their own.
The same is true with Jesus Christ. God has done everything possible
to give us the gift of salvation, but we must accept it by reaching out
and inviting Him to come into our lives. If you have never done so,
accept God’s Christmas gift to you by turning to Jesus and asking Him to
come into your life. The most precious gift you will ever receive.
