THE GREATEST GIFT TO THE WISE MEN
The wise men had been watching for the signs, and they journeyed far to meet the Saviour. A star that had appeared drew them. A star that would lead them to the Messiah.
Matthew 2:1-11Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, ”Where is He Who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” The star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother and fell down and worshipped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
They followed the light to find the Light of the world, fulfilling the truth that Jesus was born for all – rich or poor, near or far. Today, wise men still seek Him.
THE GREATEST GIFT TO INN KEEPER
There was a man who owned an inn. Little did he know that that night the Saviour of the world would come to his door. The greatest gift of all was delivered to his doorstep. But he had no room for Him. There are many still today who have no room in their hearts for the greatest gift of all.
Luke 2:6-7The time came for her baby to be born; and she gave birth to her first child, a Son. She wrapped Him in a blanket and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the village inn.
Perhaps the door of your heart has been closed to the greatest gift of all. Wouldn’t you consider opening your heart and let the greatest gift of all into your life?
THE GREATEST GIFT TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world the Lord is come. This was the message of the angels then, and nothing has changed. It is still the greatest news. The greatest gift to the world was born in Bethlehem and He is still available to us today.
Isaiah 9:6-7For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace and of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.
Jesus still remains the greatest gift the world has ever received. The birth of Jesus is the gift that changed the course of humanity. As the song says, ”The hope of a people in His tiny hands,” Jesus is the hope of the world.
