The Greatest Gift

Bible Reading:  John 3:16-21


Key Verse: Verse 16 – “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”


Key Words: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son

Two little girls were acting very badly one day.  They were misbehaving.  It was Thanksgiving Day and their father told them, “Girls, go to your room. You are dismissed from Thanksgiving dinner.”


Sad and dejected, the girls went to their rooms.  A few moments later, they heard their mother calling, “Girls, girls, come down to dinner.”


A little baffled in light of what their father had said, they sheepishly walked down to the dinner table and sat down.  But they noticed something.  Dad was not there.  So, they naturally asked, “Mother, where is Dad?”


“Dad went to his room.”


“But why, mom?”


“Because Dad loves you so much.  He couldn’t change his standard, but he didn’t want to deny you dinner.  So, Dad said he would go and pay the price so that you could come and eat the meal.  While you enjoy the meal, remember that your dad has picked up the tab and is paying the penalty.”


 Brothers and sisters, when you forget to say thanks for everything else, don’t forget to say thanks for Jesus…for He is God’s greatest gift to mankind.

What to do:

Accept Jesus as your Savior.  He is God’s greatest gift for you to you.
