The Gift

Scripture:
Isaiah 9:6 (NASB)

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

Titles, we all have several titles.  I am a son, a brother, a husband, and a father.  I have had the title System Analyst, Computer Technician among others.  There is only one who has the titles Prince of Peace, Counselor, Emmanuel He is the Son of God.  Another title is Savior, Messiah He is Christ the King.  Who else would be worthy of such titles but Jesus Himself.  Why is He so worthy?  Simple He is God incarnate.  He left His glory in heaven so that we might be reconciled with Himself, God the Father.  Our redemption rests in Christ. 

This Christmas let us all remember the true meaning of Christmas.  Don’t let the hustle and bustle of everything around you distract you from the most precious gift of all.  Every year Nancy makes Forgotten Cookies Christmas eve.  On Christmas morning they are ready to eat.  When you break open the cookie the inside is hollow, just as His grave…  Something else we have done is wrap a box and in the box we place our “hearts” for Jesus.  The gift is placed under the tree simply addressed “To Jesus”…

This year give Jesus your whole heart.  Remember He already gave you the best possible gift.  What else can we give Him…

Merry Christmas
