10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” ~ Luke 2:10-12
God gave us the most precious gift of all that very first Christmas. He gave us Jesus Christ. In Him, there is salvation and everlasting life. There is freedom and rest. There is hope and joy. And the free gift that is Jesus is free for anyone who wants Him. And if we want Him and accept Him, He will not be taken away from us.
Now, don’t misunderstand me. I did not say we couldn’t give it up. I said it will not be taken from us.
They might ban Bibles in schools. They may outlaw prayer in government buildings. They may try to lockdown churches. They may try to prohibit praise and worship in our services, but they cannot take the free gift of salvation from us. No man can pluck us out of His hand.
This is a gift like none other. Don’t keep it to yourselves. Don’t keep the name of Jesus quiet and hidden from others. This is the time of hope and rejoicing, for Christ has come down to us and has not left us as orphans. This is the time we remember His birth, His first sacrifice. He left all He had, His throne, crown, and Godliness. He set everything aside for us. Don’t keep that to yourself. Tell everyone who will listen to the good news of Christ.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Go Tell It On The Mountain.
