Spiritual Vitamin: "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
Challenge: Christmas is a few days away and it's so easy to make the focus on gifts, buying gifts and getting gifts. The tradition of giving gifts is a wonderful tradition. Today, would you turn your attention to the best gift of Christmas? God's gift of Jesus came in the most humbling of wrappings. Jesus was not born in a palace, but in a manger, a feeding trough. God gave to us Jesus, a great sacrifice to humanity! Through Him, we can enjoy the gift of eternal life. Will you consider this most amazing gift of God's Son, Jesus?
Prayer: Dear God, We're so grateful for this week of Christmas. In the midst of the wrapping and giving and wonder of the holiday season, can we turn our hearts and minds on you, Jesus? You are the very best gift we could ever receive. So often, we just miss this at Christmas. Today, let me focus on Jesus and the amazing gift of eternal life that we can have through Christ. Amen.
