Most Christmas gifts are wrapped so that you can’t readily tell what’s inside until you open the package. In the same way, the Gift that started it all came “wrapped” in a surprising way.
Its true value remained “hidden” to the first recipients until they “opened” the package, and received the Gift.
It is still that way today: there’s no way to truly appreciate the gift of God's Love until you accept it, and open your heart to receive it.

LOVE WAS WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES.
Luke 2:12 ~ “And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths, and lying in a manger.”
LOVE WAS CLOTHED IN HUMANITY.
A Christmas card by Dayspring cards says it well: “The Word did not become a philosophy, a theory, or a concept to be discussed, debated or pondered. Instead, the Word became FLESH...the Word became a PERSON to be followed, enjoyed, and loved.”
Jesus came and dwelt among us...God-Incarnate...God in the flesh...He’s God with skin on.

God the Father spared no expense. He’s like Hallmark motto: He cared enough to give the very best. He gave us His Son that He might become our salvation.
God gave...that we might receive, and in receiving, that we would give ourselves completely back to Him!
