“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” - John 3:16
What is the most important gift to give?

It’s been said that the entire message of the gospel is found in John 3:16. We celebrate Christmas because of God’s love and grace for this world. God gave us his Son, his own Self, so that anyone who believed in him could have eternal life.
The most important gift God’s children give each Christmas season is simply sharing the gift we have been given. Every family member deserves to live with the joy of eternal life. Every friend, coworker, and acquaintance can discover that the true joy of the season is found through personal faith in Christ. As believers we are called to share the gift of Jesus.
We will enjoy this holiday and all the celebrations, but we will enjoy it more if we live this season as a disciple of the Christ child we honor. Wisdom is understanding that the gift of Jesus is our treasure. Who might celebrate this Christmas with Christ because you wisely shared the faith you treasure with them?
