Jesus
= The Reason for the Season
Christmas and Easter speak with one voice of God's gracious gift to the world. At Christmas, how God's only Son entered into our world as its Saviour - at Easter, how God's Son, in fulfilment of God's external purposes and from his heart of love, gave himself for human sin and was raised on the third day.
At Christmas we rightly celebrate and give gifts so as to duplicate God's gift of his Son. It's a good reminder that the response that God looks for this Christmas is that we give ourselves to him.
The work of Jesus makes redundant all the sacrifices of the Old Testament but makes necessary the offering of our bodies as living sacrifices, this is our 'spiritual [logical, rational] act of worship' (Romans 12:1).
Remember, Jesus Christ is God's gift to you and you are part of God's gift to Christ (Titus 2:14).
