What's the greatest gift you have ever received? This is the time of year when we think about gifts. Children are excited about the gifts they may receive. Shoppers are busy everywhere looking for the right gift. Christmas is the season for giving and receiving gifts. In this busy season don't forget the greatest gift of all. Christmas is about God giving the greatest gift. He gave His Son. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son" (John 3:16).
The greatest gift is offered to all people everywhere. That includes you and everyone you know. However, a gift must be received. Believing is receiving. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12).
Pray the Word: God, I receive the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. I receive the gift of eternal life, through Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.
Do the Word: Believe and receive God's gift of eternal life in Christ. Believing is trusting God through Christ. Remember, you never work for a gift, nor earn it by any merit on your part. You either receive or reject a gift.
