The Christmas Gift

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

The Christmas Season is a gift. It is a gift of love from the Father who is Himself love. For God so loved that He gave His one and only son for you and for me.

The Christmas Season is a gift of joy. Think of times with family and friends. Think of traditions and familiar foods, and think of the presents given and received. The Christmas Season surrounds us with these sounds, touches and smells of joy!

The Christmas Season is a gift of light. Think of the trees so bright and cheerful and the neighborhood sparkling lights for all to see. And think of the light that has come into our lives and given for us to share.

The Christmas Season is a gift of salvation. Jesus has come into this world for each one of us – for you and me so we can celebrate life everlasting with our heavenly Father!

So, before we open any of those shiny packages under the tree, remember the one gift that brings love, joy, light and salvation. Think of Jesus – for He is the Everlasting Gift that gives and keeps on giving!
