The Father's Gift

The best part of receiving a gift is the anticipation. The stash of presents I’m gawking at right now makes me giddy. What’s in mine?

Whatever it is, it won’t compare to the gift God gave the world that first Christmas. What a gift! He gave His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:16) so sinners like you and me might be saved from our sins.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The ministry of Heaven's gift was personal in nature---He loved us. He went to the cross with you and me on His mind.

I remember receiving Heaven's gift, It changed my life. I get excited thinking about all Jesus is and all He did in my life. The older I get, the sweeter He gets.

I wonder how God must feel when He sees how we treat His gracious, priceless and perfect gift. Maybe we need to thank Him and praise Him more. Maybe some need to receive Him---seek Him.

2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
