Jesus is the Gift of Christmas

John 1:1-16

Jesus is the gift

• What He left so that He could be the gift
• All the wonders of Heaven

• What He became so that he could be the gift
• He became flesh
• He dwelt among us

The gift has great value

• What the gift includes
• Grace
• Truth
• Why we need the gift
• God’s grace is our only hope
• God’s truth is the only truth
• What the gift cost Jesus
• It cost Him much suffering
• It cost Him His earthly life

The gift must be received

• It just has to be accepted
• A gift cannot be earned or else it ceases to be a gift
• A gift cannot be purchased or else it ceases to be a gift
• The gift is rejected by most
• They don’t understand the gospel
• They don’t think they need a Savior
• They Fear social rejection
• The world looks more appealing
