The Gift

Christmas Morning! The day we celebrate the best gift mankind ever received.

The birth of our Lord Jesus. Just think, He left the glories of heaven to be born in a lowly manger. Is this how a king comes? Shouldn't his birth have been in a palace on the finest of linens and silks attended by the best doctors in the world? Why choose a humble stable and why announce His birth to a few poor shepherds first instead of the kings of this world? To think He knew how His life on this world would end and still chose to come. He not only knew but willingly laid down His life for US! So this day we celebrate His birth but know soon He is coming back and not in a manger, this time our King will come as THE KING! Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
