🎁 Jesus: The Greatest Gift

Discover the Good News This Christmas
This Christmas, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we invite you to discover the greatest gift ever given — God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Each ornament one tells part of the story of God’s love and His plan for you.

❤️ The Heart — God’s Love
The story of Christmas begins with love — not our love for God, but His love for us.God created us to know Him and to live in a close relationship with Him. His love isn’t based on what we do, but on who He is. He loves you personally, completely, and unconditionally.
This ornament reminds us that love is the foundation of Christmas. God loved the world so much that He gave us the greatest gift — Jesus.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” — John 3:16

÷ Sin Separates Us
Even though God loves us, there’s something that separates us from Him — sin.Sin isn’t just the bad things we do; it’s the attitude of living life our own way instead of God’s way. This creates a division between us and God, like a wall we can’t climb or a gap we can’t cross.

The division ornament reminds us that no amount of good deeds, religion, or effort can remove this separation. We needed someone to bridge the gap — and that’s where Jesus comes in.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23
“The wages of sin is death…” — Romans 6:23a

✝ Jesus Died and Rose Again for You
At Christmas, we celebrate that God came to us in the person of Jesus. He lived the perfect life we could not live and then willingly gave His life on the cross to pay for our sins.The cross stands for sacrifice, forgiveness, and victory. It turns the tragedy of sin into the triumph of grace. When Jesus died and rose again, He made a way for us to be reconciled to God — to have peace, hope, and eternal life.
The cross reminds us that the baby in the manger became the Savior on the cross — the ultimate gift of love.

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross…” — 1 Peter 2:24

? Will You Trust Him?
Every gift must be received. God offers eternal life through Jesus Christ, but He doesn’t force it on anyone.The question mark ornament represents your personal decision — the choice to accept or reject His gift.You can receive Jesus by turning from sin and trusting Him as your Lord and Savior. It’s not about religion; it’s about relationship.
This ornament asks the most important question of all:🎁 Will you receive the greatest gift this Christmas — the gift of Jesus?

“If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” — Romans 10:9
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life…” — John 3:36

🎄 How to Receive the Greatest Gift

You can receive God’s gift of forgiveness and eternal life right now by trusting in Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Pray something like this from your heart:

“God, thank You for loving me. I admit I’ve sinned and need Your forgiveness.I believe Jesus died and rose again to save me.I trust Him today as my Lord and Savior.Thank You for giving me new life in Christ. Amen.”
