Christmas Every Day

“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

Colossians 1:27


Everyone likes a good deal when they see one. First there was “Black Friday” which was preceded by “Blue Thursday” only to be eclipsed by “Cyber Monday”. I just saw a news report that consumers spent over 8 billion dollars on Black Friday and spent nearly 9 billion dollars on cyber Monday. I cant help but wonder of the over 16 billion dollars that was spent on these two days will eventually be returned after Christmas for one reason or another. Have you ever considered giving a gift that no one will return and can be used for the rest of their life? Most everyone has heard the expression, “the gift that keeps on giving” and that’s what the gifts of God are. They are gifts given by God Himself to His children for the building up of the body of Christ in love. I doubt anyone would argue that the world could use a little more love.

Here’s an idea to consider regarding your gift giving this Christmas. Instead of focusing on spending money buying gifts for those you love, why not seek to help people discover the gifts endowed upon them by God Himself. Imagine the look on people’s faces when they unwrap the very reason they were born into this world. No store bought gift can provide the satisfaction that the gifts of God can. And to think of the price that was paid to redeem us.1 Peter 1:18-19 tells us, “knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” The cost of our salvation blows the Christmas retail revenue out of the water. Our worth as a child of God is priceless, beyond calculation. All the more reason to help people unwrap their God given gifts this Christmas.

Remember, loved one, the best gifts in life can’t be found under a tree. The best gift of all the scriptures tell us are ours because Jesus Christ died upon a tree to give us life and life more abundantly. When we receive Jesus Christ and the gift of our salvation God places in us gifts we can share not only at Christmas but each and every day throughout the year, “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10). Because of Jesus its Christmas every day!


“but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ-- from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”

Ephesians 4:15-16


I LOVE YOU!
