As you spend this Christmas with your loved ones and all the joy of the season, and celebrating the opening of the gifts. Aunt Jane, “thanks for the wonderful tie, I will wear it all the time”; a few days later you don’t even know where the tie is and you have all but forgotten it. What I’m saying is that the wonderful gifts and the Holiday season is spent on monetary gifts and false wishes, not on the real meaning of the season, the coming of the Baby born to the virgin mother. The real gift of Christmas is the gift God our lord gave us; He gave us his only son . But do we really know how valuable this gift is, this gift is of His love for us (John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes on him shall not perish but have everlasting life) Did we read the instructions ( Bible) and do we understand the many uses of the gifts
1. To ransom many
2. To call sinners
3. To give sight to the morally blind
4. To save from divided condemnation
5. To give eternal life.

Or, did we just put it in a closet and only take it out when we need it ( it will always be there for you ) but this gift is meant to be used everyday , and the instructions (Bible) will help you find the real joy that this gift brings to you. Read your instructions on a daily bases and follow them, you will see the gift you have is the love of God and the power of kings.
You see the gift you been given is Jesus (Mark 10:45 - “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”) and with Him a fulfilling life is there to behold. So this gift is a everlasting gift so wear it proudly and show it off for all to see, and you’ll find out that your gift is the greatest gift of all.
