Jesus is the greatest person who has ever lived; each year we celebrate His Birth as the coming of our salvation.
Salvation is the greatest gift of all.
Salvation is the only gift that everyone really needs.
Salvation is presented to us as the ultimate Christmas gift in what is perhaps the best known verse of the Bible. Why not say that verse with me, it is John 3:16.
During World War I the newspapers ran the story of a letter found in the pocket of a soldier who had been killed in action. As his pockets were emptied and mailed to his mother, these words were found by her written on the back of a letter:
“The Greatest Verse in the Bible”
For God—the Greatest Lover
So loved—the Greatest Love
The World—the Greatest company
That He gave—the Greatest Event (which is Christmas)
His only begotten Son—the Greatest Gift
That whosoever—the Greatest Offer
Believeth in Him—the Greatest Simplicity
Should not Perish—the Greatest Security
But Have Everlasting Life—the Greatest Possession
This Christmas do you have that greatest security? Do you know that you have received the greatest possession of all—Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
Sometimes Christmas is especially hard for those who compare what they want with what others get. But the good news is that as a Christian, God has given us everything in Christ.
