What is the greatest gift you could ever receive?
Every Christmas, shops are packed with people hunting for presents for family, friends and colleagues. And whether young or old, we all look forward to receiving gifts.
But year after year, we soon discover how hard it is to be truly satisfied. There's always something more that we wish we could have, and Christmas presents only satisfy us for a little while. Maybe we wish we could have a sense of peace. Maybe we're looking for a purpose in life. Maybe we're looking for forgiveness, but don't know where to find it. Maybe we want to change, but don't know how. Maybe we just want to be loved.
God knows our deepest needs, even more than we do. He loves us, even more than we could imagine. Because of that, He has offered us the greatest gift we could ever receive. He has offered us a good relationship with Him.
How? By taking away the barrier of sin -- all the evil, selfish things we have done or thought. How did He do that? He paid the penalty of sin for us, by coming to us as Jesus, and offering Himself as a sacrifice for our sins.
Jesus is the greatest gift God offers to us. Through Him, we can have peace, purpose, forgiveness, transformation and love. Through Him, we do not need to pay the price for our sins -- a price we could never truly pay through our own efforts. Because of his loving sacrifice, we do not need to face eternal punishment. Instead, we can have eternal life in heaven. God wants you to receive His greatest gift. You just have to acknowledge that you need Jesus.
