The Gift of Jesus

Christmas is about remembering the best gift of all – God sending His son Jesus to this earth in the form of a tiny baby. There is a song called “A Baby Changes Everything”. That is true in the natural and the spiritual. Jesus changed everything, when he was born that first advent. He changed the calendar – how we keep track of years. He changed how we relate to God – not through a list of rules and regulations, but through a relationship with him. He changed how we can attain eternal life. He opened the portals of heaven to anyone who accepts his gift of forgiveness of sins.

Why don’t you take a few moments this Christmas time to consider how you are letting the Christ child change your life? Share that with your loved ones – let the importance of this season be known!
