The Call To Give

The flurry of opening presents is often the center of Christmas morning, but once the wrapping paper is cleared, we should let our thoughts settle on the ultimate transaction of the season: God giving His Son.

Yesterday was about receiving the gift of Christ. Today is about reflecting on what that gift calls us to do in return.

The Apostle Paul challenges the early church with this question, which is just as powerful for us (John 1:12, KJV, paraphrased for context): "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."
