The Real Treasure of Christmas






Gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh paled before the Wonder of the Eternal! Equally at home clothed in ethereal glories of heaven and the humble rags of earth, the Savior came.

The Son of God and Son of Man, was born to die, and rise again!

Is he a King? Yes.

A Prophet? Absolutely.

A High Priest? Certainly.

He is also a Teacher, Healer, Comforter and Deliverer extraordinaire. But above all, he is Savior. It is for this purpose that He came. It is to this purpose that all He has done leads us.

It is easy to be mesmerized by the glitter of golden gifts, but the true Treasure lies just beyond in the humility of the Incarnation! He comes to restore and revive. He comes to give New Life. If you will accept it, this great gift awaits, within reach, just for you.

"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isa 57:15 KJV
