Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you have been able to enjoy time with your family and that all your Christmas wishes have come true. I'm guessing you don't plan to leave any gifts unopened under the tree this year.
You see all the Christmas slogans: "Keep Christ in Christmas!" "Jesus is the reason for the season!" and "Jesus is the greatest gift of all!" I've used these clichés before, but this year I want to help you understand that Jesus is not the ONLY gift God wants you to open this season.
The Bible is overflowing with the gifts God has for you if you are His child. Today we are reading from Romans 5, and it is full of blessings I hope are on your Christmas wish list!
The miracle of Christmas is that God became flesh and entered our world as a baby. Jesus lived a perfect life so He could become the perfect sacrifice for your sin and mine. It overwhelms me that Christ died for us while we were still powerless and ungodly. He loved us even while we were His enemies. I don't know anyone else who would willingly die for me. Do you?
The promise of Christmas is that Jesus made a way for you and me to be friends of God. Are you going to leave this gift unopened? I surely hope not!
