#41. THE GREATEST PRESENT EVER!

Episode 41 I LOVED getting presents at Christmas time as a kid! I think back to some awesome gifts I got and how much happiness they brought me at the time! But as Ive gotten older, I love giving gifts more than receiving them! Especially when it comes to giving my sons Christmas gifts! I love seeing thier excitement and happiness! But here’s the thing…Every tangible present that we receive here on Earth cannot fulfill the ultimate joy that God wants us to have. Nor will the happiness last forever. Just like with all those awesome presents I received as a kid…yeah they made me the happiest kid in the world for a moment. But then you get tired of those toys or something newer and better comes along and then we set our desire on that! But the really cool thing is…God knows how to give gifts a lot better than we do! And he has given us the Ultimate present! Rom 3:24-26 “…Since we’ve compiled this long and sorry record as sinners and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. 25-26 God sacrificed Jesus on the altar of the world to clear that world of sin. Having faith in him sets us in the clear…God sets things right. He also makes it possible for us to live in his rightness.” (Message) This is the gift that lasts FOREVER! There is just no other gift compared to this one! Everlasting life with Jesus!!!
