Our Father Who Gives

During this season of Christmas, our hearts and minds are typically focused on the images of the baby Jesus, wrapped in swaddling clothing, lying in a manger. And while this image in not incorrect, it is incomplete. You see, it is Jehovah God Who gave us the Christ child that we celebrate. God our Father gave us His greatest gift so that we could know with surety that He loves us. His love toward us was so great that God sent the Christ child  to reclaim His people and property and to set the course of man’s life back in line with God’s original intent.
