The Greatest Gift of All Time

To many, Christmas is a season of giving—a time of giving to loved ones and those in need and putting a smile on someone's face. But many times, we forget where we emulate the reason why we give.

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." The human race was sentenced to death whether they did good or bad, but because of their nature, a nature that came about at the fall of man in Genesis 3. But God's love for the human race was so much that He gave a gift, the greatest gift of all whereby the whole world would be redeemed from death.

This gift was a total package, a chance to start afresh on a clean slate in a brand new life in its totality (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:17). He was offered brand new health, wealth, and most of all a brand new spirit because he was offered the opportunity to have a new nature different from that which was sentenced to death. It was the perfect life because this life was the very life of God Himself (ref.: Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 4:3-6).

We give because He first gave. But in the spirit of giving, we should not forget the essence of Christmas. Our giving should point to Christ, as it should be done out of love for one another just as He loved us.

Even though we pick the 25th of December every year to celebrate the greatest gift from God to man, who is our Lord Jesus Christ, we should remember that every day we are to celebrate Christmas, for without the birth of Jesus, there wouldn't have been the redemption of man through His death, burial, and resurrection.

Jesus is our salvation, our full package, our reason for the season, our new life, and He is the greatest gift of all time.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations-you’re born again, you are now brand new!
