The Gift

We were gifted a son.
We were gifted life.
We were gifted happiness and joy.

Our gift is abundant—more than we deserve.
Our gift is precious and full of good cheer.
This gift is unlike any other:
a gift of love, peace, compassion, and redemption.

Most importantly, it is a gift that saves humanity.
“For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given.” Isaiah 9:6
The gift of Christ’s birth—an infant wrapped in swaddling cloth—is God’s steadfast love for us, personified in Jesus.

Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.
