Families and Gifts

Everyone looks forward to Christmas, because that is the time when families come together with gifts in celebration of the very first Christmas.

In Luke 2:11, we read how God had a host of angels brought in to let the shepherds know about the family that had arrived in Bethlehem. And when they were told that Jesus was born in a stable behind the Inn, they left their sheep and went immediately to where the family was and bowed down to worship the newborn baby Jesus, who was God's gift to the world.

Many gifts have been given at Christmas, but, for over 2000 years God's gift to the world has been the greatest gift of all.
