My second
symbol of Christmas is a Wrapped Gift:
The
giving of gifts at Christmas-time of course has its origins in the Christmas
story – the wise men followed the star and came to visit Jesus, bearing gifts
of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But the greatest gift ever given was given by
our Heavenly Father –
“For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting
life. For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved.” (John 3:16-17)
Christ is
the first gift of Christmas. Go to this you tube website and view this short
video.
What have
we done to deserve such a gift? Nothing!
This gift is freely given to each of us because our Heavenly Father loves us
with a love that is unconditional. The
gift of His Son is meant to bring us eternal joy and happiness so that we might
return to live in our Heavenly home with our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus
Christ. He is the source of our HOPE!
