Ever think about the special gifts Christ has given you? When Christ came to this world He came with a purpose. He wanted us to have a relationship with Him.
One thing Christ brought us was Freedom. Jesus came to set us free from sin. We were held as captives but He came to set us free from the bondage of false realities, addictions, destructive behaviors, relationship problems...you name it, He took it all away.
Second, He gave us the gift of forgiveness. Jesus paid it all. He brought forgiveness to those that trusted and believed in Him. During this busy holiday season maybe we can offer that same forgiveness to others. Anyone holding a grudge? Any bad relationships? This time of year would be a good time to say I'm sorry for those careless words or deeds. Forgiveness is a great gift.
Third, Jesus brought light to a dark world. We lived in darkness until the Light of the World entered this place. We can and need to be that light today to those around us. Those searching for something positive and worthwhile in their lives. Light is powerful and can be that path to a great change in the lives of many individuals.
(More to Come)
