- This is the real message of Christmas.
- Jesus was the first gift given.
- God loves you so much, that He gave!
- He gave the best and the most valuable gift He could give.
- Luke 2:7 says, "She gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger."
- The one who was divine, chose to become human!
- The immortal became mortal!
- Jesus gave up all of his rights and privileges to become human.
- Phil.2:7 says, "He gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being."
- The most Glorious one was placed in a manger!
- The most Extraordinary One came in the most ordinary way!
- Wow! That is love!
- That is the original Christmas gift!
- And He gives you a choice... Will you receive the gift or will you let it sit there wrapped up?
- John 3:16 says, "by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life."
- You can have a whole life.
- As you unwrap the gift you discover what he has to offer.
- John 3:17 - 18 goes on to say, "God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him."
- You still have a choice, either to receive the gift or reject it.
- If you receive it, you are acquitted of all sin.
- You are forgiven.
- You are cleansed.
- You are new!
- If you have never received Him, then I encourage you to receive the free gift today!
- The gift is the son of God.
- "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
- You can have a fresh start, today!
- You can have a new lease on life!
- Have a great Wednesday!
