We share a gift. A wonderful gift. An undeserved gift. A gift like no other gift we've ever received.
A gift full of love and compassion, joy and favor. A gift that is hard to fathom. A gift from someone we didn't know until we found the Person giving it to us.
Have you ever had a gift like that before? People just don't give other people gifts unless they know them. We sometimes give gifts for a person in need. If a tragedy happens or an illness or accident occurs, we want to help. But to just give a gift to someone we don't know. To receive a gift from someone we don't know.
Thankfully, the Person who has given you and me this gift does know us. He knows everything about us, and He still gives us this gift.
That's what love looks like and there's only one Person who is capable of doing this. Jesus. The Son of God. The Redeemer of the world. The Creator of all things.
One gift. And that's what we celebrate this Sunday. Easter. His life for us. Now, His glory in us.
This week we remember the sacrifice He gave for us and the resurrection He obtained for us. God's gift to us.
All for me . . . All for you. Celebrate Him in your heart this week and all through the year. A perfect gift.
Chorus of "Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners"
"Hallelujah! what a Savior! Hallelujah! what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end."
By His Grace . . .
