PROMISE #359 - DECEMBER 25
Promise #359:
When I offered up My one and only Son, I gave you the best gift I could give.
Romans 8:32 (WEB)
He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all,
how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
Christmas marks the one day in the year when gifts are given and received worldwide. I could not think of a more appropriate day to talk about the greatest gift that our Father could give. On a day that we celebrate the birth of God's only begotten Son, may we also be reminded why Jesus came to earth.
In John 3:16, we read that God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son. The Father gave us everything He could possibly give when He sacrificed the life of His treasured possession. In today's promise, Paul the Apostle reminds us of this incredible gift. God did not spare His Son but delivered Him up to the most excruciating death on a cross so that we could be born into His family.
The greatest gift you could receive this Christmas day is a deeper revelation of just how much our God and Father loves you. He gave up everything He loved to gain your love. May the revelation of His love go even deeper into your heart today, and may the cross of Jesus Christ always be the ultimate symbol of our Father's greatest gift to you.
Have a blessed Christmas!

Responsive Prayer:
Father, I thank You for not withholding Your Son, but freely giving Him up for us all two thousand years ago. I thank You for this priceless gift You have given me in Christ. As I celebrate the birth of Your beloved Son today and exchange gifts with others, may I be reminded of the indescribable gift that was given to me.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
