We are beginning to focus on the holiday of Christmas trying to highlight why it is so special.  God provides the world with the greatest gift it could ever hope to receive and that is stated in multiple places within the Bible.  The strange part is that even though we hear it and can understand what it is saying, we still find it difficult to accept because it sounds too good to be true.  I think we have all felt that feeling before but that is where the idea of a gift comes into view.  When someone gives us gifts, we all know that means and the same is true with God too.
