The Gift – The Greatest Re-Gift
December 22, 2024
Luke 2:8-18
The best gift you can give is the best gift you have received.
Luke 2:8-18
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
Luke 2:8-18
9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Luke 2:8-18
10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Luke 2:8-18
12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:8-18
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 best gift you can give is the best gift you have received.
God’s gift of Jesus is God’s gift to YOU.
Luke 2:8-18
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
Luke 2:8-18
17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
The best gift you can give is the best gift you have received.
God’s gift of Jesus is God’s gift to YOU.
What if you gave to others what God has given to you?
The world will only change as we re-gift what God in his grace has given to us.
