Merry Christmas, Abundant Life! Join us as Pastor Phil Hopper concludes “The Gifts We Bring Series” by examining the heart of Christmas. It’s not just about celebrating Jesus’ birth. Christmas is the fulfillment of God’s promise to redeem His people and give us a new identity in Christ.
The good news of the gospel is embedded in the symbolism of the gifts of the Magi:
• Gold: The gold speaks of Christ’s deity. He is God and King.
• Frankincense: The frankincense speaks of Christ as our Priest and Mediator.
• Myrrh: The myrrh speaks of Christ as our Savior. He was born to die.
Christmas reminds us that God loves us so deeply that He gave us the greatest gift of all—His Son. It’s not about what we do to earn His love, but about receiving the gift of salvation with faith and gratitude. That’s the heart of Christmas!
