Everyone has heard the advertising phrase, "The gift that keeps on giving." It has been used from the early days of the Victrola through Kodak's cameras and, of course, into less savory "gifts". Well, how about this one?
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.Now, that is a gift that keeps on giving. It is eternal life. It is given eternally in Christ. And then you cross reference "eternal life" with Jesus's definition.
"And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent" (John 17:3).Oh, now this gift gets even bigger. Not only is it life eternal, but it is an eternal relationship with God the Father and God the Son.
Now, that is a gift that keeps on giving. That is a gift that gives eternally. That is a gift you keep on getting. Well, well, I guess it's still a merry Christmas, eh?
