His Amazing Grace
“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the water of life freely.”
(Revelation 21: 6 KJV)
Have you ever heard the song with these words “I’m getting nothing for
Christmas? Mommy and Daddy are mad. I’m getting nothing for Christmas cause I
ain’t been nothing but bad”? Christmas has nothing to do with us being good or
bad because we could never be good enough to deserve the gift of the Christ
Child.
Christmas is about the amazing grace of Jesus. What an insult to our Saviour and
His amazing grace and His unconditional love to say that we aren’t getting
anything because we have been bad. There is nothing that we can do to deserve
His mercy, His grace and His unconditional love. It is because Jesus loves us so
much that we have the privilege to drink from His well of living water.
In the first place, our parents can’t go the store and buy what our hearts need
even if they had all the money in the world. The gift of the Christ Child was
given to us freely from our loving Heavenly Father. The unconditional love,
mercy and grace from the hearts of God and Jesus can’t be bought. They are
freely given to us from their compassionate hearts.
If you’re thirsty for love, acceptance and peace, run into the waiting arms of
Jesus. He is waiting with His arms outstretched and a heart full of forgiveness
and compassion. You don’t have to go through this life by yourself. Jesus will
walk with you every step of the way. Thank God for the gift of the Christ Child
and for the water of life that is given to us so freely.
