A GIVING COMPETITION

READ:
. The apostle Paul instructed the church at Corinth: "Let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver"(2 Corinthians 9:7).
At Christmastime, as we share gifts with others, we remember the generosity of God towards us - He gave us His Son. Ray Stedman said, "Jesus set aside His riches and entered into His creation in a state of poverty in order to enrich us all by His grace."
No gift-giving could ever compete with the Lord's extravagance. We thank God for the indescribable gift of Jesus(v.15). - Anne Cetas
Sing praise to the Father, Creator and King,
Whose mercy has taught us a new song to sing;
Who made us, and loved us though rebels and lost,
And planned our redemption at infinite cost. - Clarkson.

No gifts are greater than the gift of Christ Himself.
