While Jesus was most likely not born in December, this is the day we chose to celebrate the greatest gift ever given. He, Himself is the fulfillment of this prophecy and so many others. He is the answer to our heart’s cry, “Who are you LORD?” He is he only begotten Son(John1:14) and only begotten God(1:18). He is the greatest love we will ever know.

Knowing what He would endure, He came anyway to rescue and reconcile us to our Heavenly Father. He is the greatest gift we will ever know.

Because of this Gift, I walk as a free man; free from the bondage of sin and death. I’m no longer a slave to sin and fear, I am now a child of God; joint heirs with Christ. What have I done to earn this gift? Nothing. For it is a gift of amazing grace that my Heavenly Father has bestowed on me that I may know, be reconciled, and glorify Him.

Reflection

Enjoy yourself fully today making memories with your family, but Make sure to take time to remember the greatest gift ever given. Reflect on your life without Him and the state you were in; that you may praise Him fully for who He is, the work He has done, and the victory that was won!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we praise you with all of our heart for the greatest gift we have ever received in Your Son, Jesus. He has transferred us from darkness to light and from death to life. Let our hearts never cease to be filled with joy and Our lips with praise. For this is good news and great joy that a Savior was born for all people including us. Thank you for loving us and having an amazing plan for our salvation. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise, Amen!
