As we remove the wrapping from our Christmas gifts this year, let's remember that Christ was also wrapped. He was God wrapped in human flesh in order to walk among us and to reveal the Father to us. We wrap gifts to create anticipation and excitement. We want to see our loved ones faces when they open the package because we already know what they need or want is inside. And so it is with our heavenly Father. He wants us to see the living God in human flesh, a gift that will bring unspeakable joy.
Jesus Christ is the only gift you can give away and still never lose. Once you give away money, clothes and jewelry, they're gone. But the truth is...the more Christ you give away, the more of Him you can experience and enjoy. Jesus is the eternal gift of God. You can't lose Him, and no one can take Him away. He's the only thing you have that is absolutely, eternally yours.
My prayer is that, as you celebrate this Christmas season, you will remember Jesus as the greatest, most precious gift you have ever been given. Celebrate Him, and give Him away as much as you can. If you do, you'll experience a most joyful and meaningful Christmas.
