25 Days Of Christmas (Day 15:Getting Is Better Than Giving!!)

I know that everyone says this time of year that it is better to give than to receive...But in the case of humanity and the Gospel, that is reversed...And we should celebrate this!!

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." -Isaiah 9:6

Notice that Jesus is not simply born...He is GIVEN!! Given to live His perfect life! Given to die His perfect death for sin! Given to raise from the dead three days later conquoring death!! Given to be our mediator!! Given to be our Savior!!

Given for the Gospel: Jesus lived a life we could not live (a sinless life), He died a death we should have died (a sinners death), He rose to give us a life we could never have otherwise (resurrected life), and He alone is the way, the truth and the life – the only way to God.

So...In the case of Christmas...It truly is better to receive than to give!! Believers Rejoice!!

"Love one another." -Jesus
