The Ultimate Gift

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.” Luke 2:14

Inevitably I always end up with at least one person on my Christmas list that is so difficult to shop for that I wait until almost the very last minute before I find a gift that is just right and I imagine stores will be full of other last minute shoppers today who are in that very same situation. But the most glorious gift ever given has already been freely bestowed on any who would receive it. This perfect, and perfectly planned for, gift required the ultimate sacrifice and was given out of perfect love. Have you thanked God and have you give Him the praise and glory He so richly deserves for that wonderful gift? Have you taken the time to remember during this most busy of seasons that He sent His only begotten Son, the Prince of Peace to dwell among men so we might experience salvation and eternal life? This precious gift was given to the entire world, not just a select few, and it is my prayer that all those we love would come to know Him and understand the true wonder and glory of this precious gift and that they would one day come to understand this gift was freely and lavishly given for them.

The most precious gift that has ever been given was announced to shepherds as they tended their flocks by night. This ultimate gift is truly for everyone. Glory to God in the highest!
