The greatest gift.
Alright, here we are at the final gift which is also the greatest gift. But well, before I start, let’s enjoy some comics first which will pose as a prologue to the greatest gift I will be talking about. Special thanks to http://www.comicspace.com/tim_baron/comics.php?action=read&file_id=18585&bl_type=4&bl_from=%2Fsearch.php%3Fsearch_type%3Dcomics%26terms%3Djesus%2A+life
You guessed it right, the greatest gift here I’m talking about is eternal life, given by the Lord Jesus Christ of course.
Here’s the full account on what actually happened and why we need this gift of eternal life.
On the day when God created man, man and God actually had a good relation but then this only lasted until the day when man sinned against God. This sin which man has committed caused a separation, a void in the relation between man and God.
And due to this sin, man is destined for eternal death. In other words, we’re definitely heading for hell after we die. And hell is no joke. It is a place of eternal loneliness and fire. A place where I suppose no one wants to go to. I mean, treat hell as the worst prison on earth. I bet you don’t even want to go there and the truth is, hell is so much worse then the worst prison on earth. So back to the point, we were headed for eternal death and punishment but God had an alternative plan for us…
He sent his son down, Jesus to die for the sins of mankind. Jesus is able to do that because he is God. And being God, a far more superior being then us, he is able to cleanse our sins with his blood. Make sense doesn’t it?
Just place this scenario in your mind. Imagine you created something, say a pot. That makes you a potter right? So now, suppose you created a few pots and somehow or rather, all the pots start to have cracks on their surface. Who is the one who is able to amend these cracks? Is it you, the potter or the pot itself? The answer is obvious and that just proved my point. God is the creator, we are the created, so that makes full sense why he’s able to save us and not us save us.
Alright, that was a bit of sidetrack so back to where I was. And thus, the greatest gift, the Lord Jesus. Because of his death on the cross and his shedding of blood, we are now able to have eternal life as long as we place our faith in him.
From a state where we are bound to die to a state where we will now have eternal life, this is a gift. A state where we are to enter the eternal pits of fire to a state where now are able to enter the kingdom of heaven, that is a gift.
In fact, that’s the whole purpose of Christmas. To act as a reminder, that 2000 years back, a savior was born to mankind, Jesus Christ and that itself is the greatest gift to you and I.
That’s the 7th gift, a gift from God.
