““神爱世人，甚至把他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。”
约翰福音 3:16
“"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
The best gift of Christmas—the good news that Jesus is for everyone. The point was proven when the first invitation sent by angel choirs was to shepherds on the bottom rung of the social ladder.
The news was underscored further when the VIPs—the wealthy and powerful Magi—followed the star to come and worship the Christ-child.
After Jesus began His ministry, an influential member of the Jewish ruling council came to Him at night. In the course of their conversation, Jesus invited “whoever believes” to come to Him.
The simple act of faith in Christ grants eternal life to those who trust in Him (John 3:16). If Jesus were just for the poor and marginalized, or only for the famous and fortunate, many of us would not qualify.
But Christ is for everyone, regardless of status, financial situation, or social standing. He is the only gift truly fit for all.
God’s gift to a dying world is the life-giving Savior.
