Today is
December 26. I am thinking about the
fact that God the Father sent His Son to suffer and die for all of us because,
as John 3:16 explains, “For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Wow! That is a happy
thought to begin this day after Christmas.
I want to stress that in Christ Jesus we all can have everlasting
life. Now that does not mean that we
will not die someday, but it does mean that if we are born-again we have
everlasting spiritual life.
So, we
should begin this day after Christmas with the joyful thought that when we are
in Christ we have everlasting life. God the Father gave us the most wonderful
gift that has ever been given to mankind.
He gave His only begotten Son! 1John 4:9 reminds us all that, “In this
was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only
begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” That is surely a most happy thought. We who are in Christ Jesus actually have life
through Him!
