Gift-givers

“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?” (Luke 11:13)

We exchange gifts because we care or feel obligated, thoughtfully planning for some of them. God carefully planned and delivered the best gift: His Son, Jesus, because He loves us, and Christmas is meaningless without Him. God the Father gave the ultimate Gift to pay the world’s sin debt, and with Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, sent the Holy Spirit. When you repent, ask God to forgive your sins and surrender to His authority, God’s presence—the Holy Spirit, moves in. He will guide your thoughts, keep you on the right path, and lead you into truth if you let Him; God’s undeserved Gift will stay with you forever. As this holiday ends, the Gift does not; Jesus is the Gift that keeps on giving.
