SPL Worship | "The Gift of God" | 01.05.25

_The Gift of God: a gift for all people._ For centuries, God had given special attention to one nation…Israel. There were Jewish religious leaders who taught that only members of that special people would be saved. Not according to the Christmas angel! The birth of the Savior was good news for all people. When the Savior was born, he was first revealed to Israelites: the shepherds, Simeon, Anna. But today…we see the Lord miraculously guides foreigners across countless miles so the Savior could be revealed to them as well. How did the magi respond? _“They were overjoyed”_ (Matthew 2:10). We Gentiles (non-Jews) rejoice in the good news that this Jewish baby is not just a gift for the Jews. He is a gift for all people…the Savior of the world.
