The earthly king (Caesar) was focused on taking from mankind, and they would have to bring their ‘gifts’ to him. The Heavenly King was focused on giving His Gift to mankind and He would send His Gift to them.
Whose example should we follow?
…Out of His great love and mercy, God The Father sent Jesus The Son to this earth to shed His blood for our sins. So that by simply placing our faith in Christ and His blood for the forgiveness of our sins we are saved eternally!
This Christmas, let us never lose sight of this fact: that Jesus was born to die, so that we who are dead could live. In the exultant celebration of Jesus’ birth, remember that the gift God gave us is Jesus’ death.
