🤗The Greatest Gift🎁

 God never gives anyone a gift they are not capable of receiving.

Think! What was it? The best Christmas gift you ever received? The awe of it in all its beauty. Where is it now? What condition is it in? Does it still hold any awe at all? Probably not. Now I’m interested in that word gift; what is a gift anyways?

Webster says that a gift is “A present; any thing given or bestowed; any thing, the property of which is voluntarily transferred by one person to another without compensation; a donation.” That’s what a gift is but a gift is nothing unless the  person it was intended for accepts or receives it. If that doesn’t happen it still belongs to one who voluntarily wanted you to have it. 

God sent His only Son Jesus Christ in the form of a baby. Luke 2:11 (KJV) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:16 (KJV) And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

Jesus born in Bethlehem His mother a virgin; virgins don't have babies 

Matthew 1:23 (KJV) Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Luke 1:27 (KJV) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. Do I believe what the Bible tells us? Oh yes I do! Not only do I believe it. I also have received the greatest gift to mankind, Jesus Christ. Yeah, the same baby born in Bethlehem. Why do I say that Jesus is the greatest Gift?  Luke 19:10 (KJV) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

He was looking for me! For what reason? He had a gift for me, but remember a gift is worthless unless it is received. I did receive, oh happy day when Jesus washed my sins away. 

John 1:12 (KJV) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

I am one of the many that received Jesus Christ as my Savior. Therefore I have become a son in God's family all because I believed on His name. The greatest Christmas gift still has its awe and its beauty and is still in great condition and I’m still in the family. I hope you too have received the greatest gift too.
