Gifts at Christmas

Christmas morning is quickly approaching...and on that morning families across the world will open presents that have been sitting under the Christmas tree.  The fact that there will be presents for you to open shows that God has been gracious to you...but it is also something we must approach with care.  Sometimes, when you have all that you need, it is hard to really believe that all you need is Jesus.  You might say it, but often life shows that we need Jesus and _____.  So here is the question I want to you ask this Christmas: IS JESUS ENOUGH?  Truly ask yourself that...without the lights, without the presents, without your health...if all that were gone would this still be a time to celebrate because Jesus is enough?  


Corrie Ten Boom, a Holocaust surviver who suffered and lost everything, says:  "You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have."  Know this Christmas that he is enough.  That if you lost everything except Jesus...you would have everything you ever need!

Is he enough?  Is He why we celebrate?  


Merry Christmas!
