Christmas: Time for Giving
LUKE 2:1-20

Christmas is a time for giving. There is nothing like the satisfac-tion of watching someone's eyes sparkle as he unwraps the gift we've selected just for him. This yuletide euphoria is nothing new; in fact, the joy of giving is seen throughout the original Christmas story.

Mary was a giver. She gave her body to the Lord's service. (Luke 1:38) Realizing pregnancy outside of marriage would bring trouble, she nonetheless accepted the responsibility. Because she gave freely, Jesus Christ entered the world through her.

The innkeeper was a giver. While there were no rooms available anywhere in town, this man offered the last possible space to the weary travelers. (Luke 2:7) Because he gave, the infant Lord had a bed on which to lay His head.

The angel was a giver. He gave the most important news in human history: the proclamation of Jesus' birth. Because he gave, men began to seek the Christ.

The giving did not stop there. The shepherds gave praise to God and testimony concerning the Christ child. And wise men, travel-ing from the East, came to give worship and royal gifts. In all this giving, however, let us not miss the most precious gift of all: Jesus Christ Himself.

Why do we give gifts at Christmas? We give now because God gave so freely then. He cut through your wants and desires to bring you exactly what you needed: a Saviour. God has a Christmas present for you. If you have never received it, there is no better day than today. Merry Christmas.

2Co 12:9  And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may overshadow me.







GREETINGS IN HIS WONDERFUL GRACE.  How is your faith?  A faith worth having is a faith worth sharing.  May we take opportunities this week to share our faith
