The Greatest Gift of All

"6For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end"                                                                         Isaiah 9:6-7   NKJV

We will soon be celebrating Christmas Day and the joy of opening all of the gifts. Now it's probably time to get the diet planned. Only joking folks, just enjoy, it's only Christmas Eve and there maybe more celebrations today as well. But for myself, I think that the greatest gift of all is summed up in one of the verses from O Little Town of Bethlehem:

"How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given. So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of His heaven, No ear may hear His coming But in this world of sin

Where meek souls will receive him still The dear Christ enters in"

                                  Lewis Redner/Phillips Brooks

When you think about it, what greater gift is there, than to ask Jesus Christ into our lives. As the song says, 'Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in'. This is an invitation from Jesus Himself, to all people who do not know Him yet, and that could be you. If you honestly know that you have never asked Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour, the opportunity is here. Just say the prayer at the bottom of the page, and 'the dear Christ will enter in.' 

What a Christmas this will be; you will be born again; have eternal life from today and. you will spend this eternity with Jesus and all other Christians. And for us who may have been Christians for years, this is an invitation to rededicate your life to Jesus. Just say the same prayer below.

And then, carry on with your celebrations. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

Lord Jesus, I have sinned   

I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
