Day 12 - The Lyrics of Christmas

Day 12 

How Much God Gave 

But O 

How much God gave to us that day! 

From the manger bed what a path has led 

What a perfect holy way. 

~from “Birthday of a King” 

When you attend a birthday party, you bring a gift. You don’t expect to get a gift from the person who is having the birthday.  

But not so with God. On Jesus’s birthday, He gave the greatest gift of all: Himself.  

This amazing gift wasn’t wrapped in brightly colored paper. He was wrapped in swaddling clothes.  

Jesus truly was “the gift that keeps on giving.” He not only gave His life, but He gave forgiveness, salvation, redemption, and everlasting life to those who will place their faith in Him.  

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15). 

Indescribable truly is the best word to describe God’s extravagant gift on Christmas Day.
