WORDS:- He was the gift

 

He was the gift of priceless worth

Though He came not of royal birth

He was the gift beyond all price

The gift was His own sacrifice.

 

He was the gift God gave to man

Fulfilling thus salvation’s plan

As down on earth when strife was rife

He came to bring eternal life.

Salvation offered full and free,

To us…for all eternity.

From Jesus Christ who healed the rift,

We have but to accept his gift.

Jesus was both the giver and the gift.

God gave Jesus “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son” (John 3:16)

Jesus gave Himself. Jesus said He had come “to give His life” (Matthew 20:28)

Whoever accepts Christ also receives the gift of God. Paul said “the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23)

Whilst god’s gift of salvation is free to us…..look what it cost the giver.

The gift of eternal life is found in Jesus.  It is wrapped up in His eternal love….tied with His unfailing promises, and it is addressed to us personally…..whoever believes in Him……we are only required to ask…..and receive.
