We all love to give and to receive gifts. It is one of our most cherished Christmas customs. As we renew this tradition and participate in the giving of gifts this Christmas season, let's remember that Christmas is all about the greatest gift ever given. That is God's gift to mankind of his son, Jesus Christ whose birth we celebrate by giving of tokens of our love or gifts to those we hold dear. In His precious son, Jesus, God gave us all a Savior, who came to this world to fulfill God's plan and to serve as a sacrifice for our innate sinful nature as human beings. Because Jesus paid the price for our sins with he shedding of His blood on Calvary's cross and because he triumphed over death through the Resurrection, we can all, by simple faith in Him, can have a gift that none of us deserve...the gift of eternal life! That is reason for real joy! Seek then to make this a Christ-centered Christmas and rejoice in the fact that God in all his graciousness has given us, the greatest and most precious gift of all, JESUS CHRIST! Let's warmly embrace Jesus as we celebrate His birth!
Merry Christmas, my friends, and a joyfully happy New Year!
Love :O),
