If you need a song to inspire reflection during the Christmas season, Natalie Grant’s “God’s Gift To Us” is the perfect song. In the hustle and bustle of the season, as many of us are thinking about what gifts we will give and receive this year, this song invites us to pause and consider the wonder of the gift God gave to us in His Son Jesus.
John 1:1-18 poetically reveals that Jesus is the eternal God who created all things and who came into our world as a man and lived among us. It also tells us why He would do such a thing. Jesus came so that anyone who would believe in Him and accept Him could have new life spiritually and become a child of God. And in powerful personal encounter religious leader Nicodemus had with Jesus, John 3 expounds on the purpose of Jesus coming into our world: that anyone who would believe in Him would not perish for our sins but rather have eternal life, which is not just living forever, but knowing God and living with Him in this life and in eternity.
You’ll find language from these biblical chapters woven throughout the verses of “God’s Gift To Us.” Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus came to save us from our sins. What an incredible gift! As the chorus of this song captures so well, Jesus is “Savior and Son sent down from above,” the revelation of God’s love for us. And for this reason, He is worthy of our worship. As you listen to this song, remember the reason for the season. Remember and celebrate the gift of Jesus, who came into this world as a baby, and express your worship and gratitude to Him.
And if you haven’t thought about it already, consider this question: “have you received the gift of Jesus?” Have you taken that step to give your life to Him? He loves you and He makes forgiveness of sin, eternal life, and relationship with God available to everyone who would believe in Him and put their trust in Him for salvation. What better time to take that step than at Christmas?
So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. (John 1:14 NLT)
