The Greatest Gift Ever Given!

Matthew; 1:21
And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.

When we celebrate the Christmas season, we need to always remember that it is Jesus birth that we are celebrating. It is so easy to get caught up in the moment and lose the real meaning of this time of year.

Jesus or Jeshua in Hebrew means "the lord is salvation". Jesus came to bring salvation to man. He was the sinless sacrifice and the only means of bringing forgiveness of sins to man. No matter what the world says about Jesus, He is the only way to the Father. Jesus is God the Son, the second person of the trinity. There might be some who don't agree that Jesus is God the Son, but what does the Bible say?
Matthew; 1:23
("Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they will call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us.")

The Father sent the Son (Jesus) into the world to bring eternal life to all who would believe in Him.
John; 3:16-17
(For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.)

When we are giving gifts this Christmas season, let us remember the greatest gift ever given to man, and thank Jesus our Lord and Savior for the gift of eternal life to all who will believe in Him.

God Bless You!
