THE GREATEST GIFT EVER GIVEN
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 (King James Version)
We have received a lot of great gifts from our families and friends but the greatest gift of all, Jesus, has been given to us by our Heavenly Father. Jesus wasn’t wrapped in beautiful gift paper and decorated with a bow. He was born in a manger because there was no room for His family when He was born.
John W. Peterson wrote the song “No Room”. “No room, only a manger of hay. No room, he is a stranger today. No room, here in His world turned away. No room, no room.” There was no room for Jesus when He was born and even today there are people who haven’t made room for Him in their heart and life.
Yes, Jesus is the greatest gift that has ever been given to us and He was given to us by our Heavenly Father whose heart is full of compassion and who loves us unconditionally. What a precious Father we have! You may believe in Jesus but have you made room for Him in your heart and life?
Heavenly Father, You have given us many things but Jesus is the greatest gift of all. Thank You caring about us and for loving us so much. I pray that we will always make room for Jesus in everything we do and everywhere we go. May Your beloved Son be the top priority in our heart and life. Amen.
