What are the gifts of Christmas
What is given
A son is given
When a baby is born there is joy…is it Christmas joy??
When a child is born, soon it turns into work
1. in christmas, the love of God is expressed
Jn 3 16…God so loved the world that he sent
When you love, you give your best
2. the gift is measured by the incarnation
what is this about
don’t understand it…grey matter arcs
what is it like to change species
the story of the birds
3. struggles in life
no problems in heaven
traded that for frustrations of earth, challenges
4. led to his suffering & death
ultimate gift of christmas not the birth, but the death
for in his death, he bridged the gap
the christmas nail
these are the true gifts of christmas
they bring to us the ultimate end
peace in our hearts, peace on earth
goodwill to men,
purpose, meaning, fulfillment, joy.
