SCRIPTURE: While they were there [in Bethlehem], the time came for her to give birth, and she gave birth to her Son, her firstborn; and she wrapped Him in [ swaddling] cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no [private] room for them in the inn. Luke 2:6‭-‬7 AMP

And after entering the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then, after opening their treasure chests, they presented to Him gifts [fit for a king, gifts] of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:11 AMP

To those who believe in Christ, Jesus is the reason for the season. We celebrate Christmas because the Savior was born. The only person that could bridge the gap between us and God came to being. When He came, He laid in a manger. He wasn’t born into luxury.

If you were to give baby Jesus a gift, what would it be? Diapers, a place to stay, money? Well baby Jesus is all grown up and a gift fitting for Him would be your heart and your life. May we all check out hearts this season and live a life that would glorify His life and death.

The Savior of the world came and fulfilled His mission offering salvation to all who will receive Him.

Pray that others would receive Him!

PRAYER: Thank you Jesus for coming to earth and living the perfect life that I couldn’t. I pray people will know what Christmas is all about and come to know you as their Savior! Thank you for the gift of life! In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

REMEMBER: “Behold , the virgin shall be with child and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel ”—which, when translated, means, “God with us .” Matthew 1:23 AMP
