    The Best Gift Ever Empty The Best Gift Ever

    Today's Reading: 1 Peter 3:8-16


    Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. 1 Peter 3:15

    At a winter retreat in northern New England, one of the men asked the question, “What was your favorite Christmas gift ever?” 

    One athletic man seemed eager to answer. “That’s easy,” he said, glancing at his friend next to him. “A few years back, I finished college thinking I was a sure bet to play professional football. When it didn’t happen, I was angry. Bitterness ate at me, and I shared that bitterness with anyone who tried to help me.” 

    “On the second Christmas—and second season without football—I went to a Christmas play at this guy’s church,” he said, gesturing toward his friend. “Not because I wanted Jesus, but just to see my niece in her Christmas pageant. It’s hard to describe what happened because it sounds silly, but right in the middle of that kids’ play, I felt like I needed to be with those shepherds and angels meeting Jesus. When that crowd finished singing ‘Silent Night,’ I just sat there weeping.

    “I got my best Christmas present ever that very night,” he said, again pointing to his friend, “when this guy sent his family home without him so he could tell me how to meet Jesus.”
    It was then that his friend piped up: “And that, guys, was my best Christmas present ever.”


    This Christmas, may the joyful simplicity of the story of Jesus’s birth be the story we tell to others. —RANDY KILGORE


    Father, give us eyes to see those who need a Savior and the courage to tell them about Him. Help us remember that hearing and telling the story of Your Son is the real reason for this season.

    The best Christmas gift is Jesus bringing peace and forgiveness to others.
