As we start a new year, thinking back on the Christmas gifts we have received over the years, we find that the greatest gift of all is Christ Himself who gave Himself for us. Paul lists for us some important aspects of Christ’s gift in his letter to the Ephesians – wisdom and knowledge of Him, hope of eternal life in Him, and the power of His Spirit dwelling within our hearts.
As Christmas rapidly approaches, we take time to reflect on the blessings we have received by Jesus’ birth. The miracle of God taking on human flesh fills us with awe, but we are deeply humbled when we consider that He did so because He intended to redeem us out of death by taking the judgment for our sins upon himself at the cross. Nevertheless, we are thrilled and richly blessed with the promise He gave just before He ascended back to His Father that one day He will return to gather us to Himself so we will be with Him in His glory forevermore. This is the blessed hope we hold tightly onto as we await His coming.
