Matthew 2:11
"On coming to the house, they saw the child(Jesus) with His mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh."
IT IS OFFICIALLY THE DAY WE HONOR JESUS' BIRTHDAY!
Although we have made it a custom of giving gifts to one another, let's remember that:
THE BEST GIFT WE CAN GIVE SOMEONE IS A HEART FULL OF CHRIST!
When Christ reigns in your heart, you become the gift that others so desperately need all year round!
CHRIST DESIRES TO USE YOUR LIFE FOR HIS GLORY & THE WELL-BEING OF HUMANITY!
But it requires a GIFT on your behalf to Christ!
Basically, what is being said is:
"SURRENDERING YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST IS THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE JESUS ON HIS BIRTHDAY!"
After all, isn't the Birthday Boy usually the one to receive gifts?
HONOR CHRIST WITH YOUR LIFE! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!"
