THE BEST GIFT

The story was told of a very wealthy king who had a son and hundreds of hired servants. It was written in his “will” that the son should take the best gift but not more than one item of his father’s properties after his death; the rest were to be inherited by the most senior of the hired servants. After the king’s death, the son was to take the best gift and the he chose the most senior of his father’s servants, and by extension, inherited all the wealth of his father. Christ came in the form of a Servant, and He is God’s best Gift to mankind.

Christ came into the world to salvage mankind was a proof of God’s love for humanity. There is no doubt that the circumstances that surrounded His birth proved His divinity. But the good news is that He came to liberate man from the bondage of sin.

Sin is the greatest problem of man, yet God made the best provision for our salvation. Jesus, meaning Saviour came to the world to save us because we cannot save ourselves. The angel affirmed: “She shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sin”.

Salvation from sin and its consequences is obtained through Christ’s sacrificial death. To obtain this gift of salvation, a sinner must acknowledge his sins, repent from them and accept Christ as the Lord and personal Saviour. God gave us life and freewill. We are here to make a choice.

Do you choose to love and accept God, or choose to reject Him? Are you willing to turn away from the evil in this world, in exchange for a relationship with our Creator? When you can answer ‘YES!’, and repent in your heart, there is joy in heaven! Seize the moment, accept Him as your Lord and be counted in His Kingdom.

Prayer: I will not lose my salvation in Jesus name
