Twenty Five Days of Christmas DevotionsSample

Consider the gifts that we give to others this season. The gifts that we give to a close friend will often be of greater value than that we give to a casual acquaintance. You could say that the degree to which you love someone is proportional to the value of the gift that you wholeheartedly present to that person.

Now consider this season the gift that God presents to us. He declares, “this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” That God chose to give His one and only beloved Son for a people who are rebellious and self-centered is hard to fathom. But this is how God demonstrates the extent of His great love for us, in that while we were sinners and enemies, God gave us a gift that is beyond comparison. Jesus, the precious gift of the Heavenly Father is a constant reminder of the degree of love He has for us.
