"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him." -John 3:16-17 (NASB)
One common question from Christmas day is, "Did you get what you wanted?" While this question is often asked with no harm intended, it can take our focus away from the meaning of the day. The true meaning of the day isn't about getting material things, but on receiving the greatest gift from God!
God gave to humans of all time and places His Son. The gift of His Son is to be a redeeming force in our lives. As we accept the gift of Christ, we can be forgiven and begin a new life. Christmas day is a time to focus on what the gift of God's Son Jesus Christ truly means to each of us in personal ways that impact our daily lives. Instead of asking if we got what we wanted, we should ask if we have accepted God's gift and if our daily lives - throughout the entire year - reflect the presence of Jesus Christ in our hearts!
God gave you the one gift that you need and that no one else could give: His Son as a source of salvation!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the greatest gift that You have given. Help my life to reflect the presence of You and Your Son each and every day of the year. Through Him I pray, amen.
