The Gift of Jesus: A Five-Day Devotional for the Holidaysনমুনা

The holiday season isn’t just about remembering the birth of Christ. It’s about recognizing what His birth means for us right now. The arrival of Jesus marked the beginning of something brand new for the world and for each of us personally.

Because of Jesus, we can find freedom from the chains that hold us down, whether that’s fear, shame, addiction, or the mistakes of our past. In Him, we are not defined by what we’ve done or what has been done to us. The miracle of Christmas is that Jesus came into the middle of our mess not to condemn us, but to save us.

So as you celebrate this season, let every light you see and every carol you hear remind you of the true gift of Christmas: Jesus Himself. He is the reason we can move forward with hope. He is proof that new life is possible.

Prayer: Jesus, bring new life into my heart. Fill me with hope and gratitude.
