A few years ago on America’s Funniest Home Videos, a young boy was shown on Christmas morning. He came down to see a large present beside the tree and ran over to tear it open to see what was inside. The paper went flying and suddenly he broke into a dance and jumped around the room saying, “Wow Just what I wanted I really love it. Wow.” After a while he went over to look at it again and said with a puzzled look on his face, “What is it?” When the angels announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds on the hillside, everyone in heaven were celebrating His arrival. Shepherds hurried to Bethlehem to view this wonder of wonders. Since that time we have been celebrating like children at Christmas saying, “Yes, exactly what I wanted.” But in the next breath, we look at a baby lying in a manger, surrounded by animals and ask, “What is it?”
We are still confused with God’s gift to man.
Luke 2:11-14 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
The word of the day is perfect.
Jesus is God’s perfect gift to you and me.
Make sure that God’s perfect gift is welcome in your heart and in your home this Christmas season and celebrated each and every day of the year.
