The Greatest Gift 1



Hello Everyone,

Christmas is a time of giving. And that means Christmas it is a time of shopping.

Ever since the wise men from the east showed up at the stable carrying gold, frankincense, and myrrh, people have been exchanging gifts at Christmas.

Of course, it’s much more complicated today than it was for the wise men.

For one thing, they didn’t have to contend with shopping malls, all packed full of parents going from store to store to store, desperately searching the latest or hottest thing.

The magi didn’t have to worry about sizes, or colors, or return policies just plain old gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Well, this year, just like every year, millions of people, will open millions of gifts. Some won’t fit. Some will be the wrong color. Many will be returned or exchanged.

But there’s one gift that meets EVERYONE’S need, one gift that will never wear out, never break or need repairing.

The gift we all need, the most valuable gift of all, is that baby in the manger The One that this whole season is about.

On Christmas, we celebrate the fact that God gave us the gift of His own Son, Jesus Christ, so that through faith in Him we could be forgiven of our sins and have eternal life.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! II Corinthians 9:15

The Amplified Bible Says: “[precious] beyond telling {His indescribable, inexpressible, free Gift]!!!
 Merry Christmas
