Today’s reflection is titled:
Jesus’ Favorite Gift
“And he said to them, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.”— Matthew 22:37–38
Every time Christmas comes around, the world becomes bustling. Colorful lights are put up, Christmas songs are sung everywhere, and gifts are exchanged. But have you ever thought about how it is Jesus’ birthday, yet we are the ones busy looking for gifts for others? Then what does Jesus actually expect on His birthday?
Did you know that in the movie Frozen, Elsa has extraordinary powers but closes herself off because she is afraid of hurting others? Anna, her sister, continues to fight to show that true love is not about perfection, but about sacrifice, even to the point of being willing to die for the one she loves. Interestingly, this is similar to what Jesus did. He came into the world not to receive lavish gifts, but to give love that saves the world.
From this story, we learn that Jesus did not want a big party or magnificent decorations. He wanted hearts as pure as doves and hearts that were willing to love, forgive, and give selflessly. Therefore, Christmas is not just a celebration. It is an invitation to give Jesus the best gift, which is a life dedicated to Him. Let us celebrate Jesus’ birthday not only with lights and songs, but with love and real change.
✅ What to Do?
1. Celebrate with Your Heart, Not Just Decorations Christmas is not about trees, gifts, or parties, but about Jesus being present. When you celebrate, don’t forget to set aside special time just for God. Start by reading the Word, singing a song of praise, or writing a letter of thanks to Jesus.
2. Learn to Forgive. It’s not easy, but it’s the gift Jesus loves most. Remember that He forgave us first, even when we were not worthy.
