  • God's Gift to Us (Part 2)

    We celebrate Christmas in order to rejoice over God's most precious gift to us. The birth of Jesus Christ is a gift from God that came in simple wrapping, as well as a gift we don't deserve. But the gift of Christ also explains His purpose for humankind.

    When you're a child, Christmas is all about receiving gifts. In December, your head is swimming with nothing but images of your favorite toys.
