BIG PICTURE: Jesus, the infinite God, entered the world in the humblest of ways to extend a gift of salvation. His arrival invites us to respond with open hearts and to fully embrace the transformative gift of His love and grace.

TEXT: Isaiah 9:6; John 3:16

KEY VERSE: For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given. - Isaiah 9:6

INFINITE IN INFANCY

It’s no coincidence that the One who came to

us spent his first night in a manger.

The light of the world was born in a dimly lit

.

The way Jesus arrives reminds us he doesn’t

himself on anyone.

UNWRAP THE GIFT

is a part of the Jesus story.

We are

members in his story too.

A gift isn’t truly yours until you

it and use it.

NEXT STEPS: Spend time the next few days reflecting on your response to Jesus’ arrival. “Unwrap the gift” by placing your trust in Him and allowing His love and grace to transform you. Celebrate and share the gift of Jesus with others this Christmas.
