The Best Birthday Gift

          Have you selected a birthday, or “thank you,” gift for Jesus yet?  Might I make a suggestion? How about your life?  Seeing that He died for it I think this would be a great selection. Paul in Romans 12:1—2 makes this important point in stating,

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

          If you have already given your life to Jesus as a birthday gift let me make another suggestion.  How about giving Him another person’s life? Seeing that He died for that life as well this seems like a perfect gift. Remember, that is why He was born.

“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,  who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due tim,”  1 Timothy 2:5—6

So help us give our Lord a wonderful gift that I know that He will love during this season:

INVEST (time, prayers, resources, etc.) in someone, then INVITE that person to church.
