Gift That Never Disappoints
Romans 5:15-19
[15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. [16] And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. [17] For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) [18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. [19] For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
I seen a video this past week of a dad who tried to give his child “the worst gift ever.” Only problem was that the child absolutely loved it. Their reaction and excitement was priceless!! The gift? A banana!!
There are many who will open gifts over this season only to be disappointed. They are still appreciative, but disappointed in the gift they received! I’m thankful for today for the gift of salvation. A gift that has never disappointed! A gift that gives me the hope and promise of a better future. A gift that gives me a peace like I’ve never known! A gift that I did not deserve!
As you celebrate this Christmas season don’t forget the gift that God sent into this world when He sent His Son. The gift that anyone who has received it has never been disappointed!
God bless you today!
