We have various ways of describing earthly gifts that will wear out and eventually tarnish. But how do we describe the greatest gift of all, eternal life? The birth of the Christ child changed our world. The birth, the death, the burial and resurrection of Jesus brings eternal hope. Describing this gift to others is important. We need to be careful that we do not let the exchanging of Christmas gifts to and from our loved ones overshadow the greatest gift of all—the gift of love from our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our Lord.
