as a whole christmas is a time of giving and receiving gifts this agreeable cus tom is founded upon the blessed truth that god himself is a giver and has lavished his wealth upon a povertystricken world by the unspeakable gift 2 cor 9 15 of his own beloved son as brought be fore us in what luther called the miniature bible john 3 10 that great verse upon which we are asked to focus our attention today to the samaritan woman the lord jesus christ said if thou knewest the gift of god and who it is that saith to thee give me to drink thou wouldest have asked of him and he would have given thee living water john 1 10 in romans 6 23 we read the gift of god is eternal life through jesus christ our lord in his first epistle john wrote god hath given to us eternal life and this life is in his son chap 511 this then is gods great christmas gift to lost men dead in trespasses and sins eternal life in the lord jesus christ who can fathom the folly of the man who refuses so great a gift yet we are told that he came unto his own and his own received him not john 111 sorrowfully the lord jesus said concerning many to whom he presented himself in grace ye will not come to me that ye might have life john 5 10 at this festive season when christmas carols fill the air and the story of the birth of the lord jesus christ is being heralded far and wide let us pause and face the question have we received gods gift to reject christ is fatal to receive him means eternal life and peace with god verse by verse john 3 16 god so loved that he gave the gift of christ is the expression of gods infinite love for a lost world remember the lord jesus christ did not come into this scene and go to the cross in order to enable god to love us he came as expressing that love rom 5s in giving his only begotten son god was giving himself for god was in christ reconciling the world unto himself 2 cor 5 19 now the gospel message goes out to all men everywhere offering everlasting life freely to whoso ever believeth on jesus eph 3 11 for this cause i bow my knees paul had been speaking of gods eternal purpose of grace in christ jesus the great mystery of the church which he died to redeem to himself and this stirred his heart to worship thanksgiving and prayer verse 15 the whole family in heaven and earth the entire family of the redeemed are all locat ed either in heaven or on earth there is no middle place like pur gatory nor are those who have died in christ lying unconscious in their graves verse 16 according to the riches of his glory from this wealth of glory all our blessing comes notice it is not merely out of his riches but according to those riches a millionaire might give a few dollars out of his wealth but that would not be according to his vast possessions god gives liberally in accordance with the vastness of his wealth strengthened with might by his spirit the indwelling holy spirit given to us by god is the source of all power for victory over sin and for witnessing to others verse 17 that christ may dwell in your hearts by faith per sonally christ is in heaven at the right hand of the father but faith enshrines him in the loyal heart thus we are rooted like a tree and grounded like a building in love god is love so we as christ ians are to be rooted and grounded in god verse 18 comprehend the breadth and length and depth and height of gods eternal purpose note that we have here four dimen sions this carries us beyond the natural into the spiritual verse 19 to know the love which passeth knowledge this sounds paradoxical yet it is blessed ly true for just as a babe knows its mothers love and yet the reason for that love is incomprehensible to the child so we know the love of christ but it is utterly beyond our compre hension why he should thus love sinners such as we filled with all the fulness of god or a better rendering is filled into all the full ness just as a shfcl on the sea shore may be futt and filled into all the fullness of the ocean verse 20 able to do what all we ask or think yes but that does not tell the whole story he is able to do above all that we ask or think more than this abun dantly above all and still more exceeding abundantly above all there is no limit to what god can do and will do for the one who trusts him fully verse 21 throughout all ages world without end this is the strongest expression for eternity in the bible a literal rendering is unto all generations of the age of the ages the church will be the vessel for the display of the glory of god by christ jesus for all the ages to come the heart of the lesson gods love has been told out in the gift of his son in giving him he gives all that heaven possesses according to his riches he lavishes his grace upon all who believe in the lord jesus and so makes abun dant provision to meet their every need for time and eternity nothing is too much for him to do for those who have responded to his love by opening their hearts to receive his only begotten son as their saviour and lord posed of his stock earlier in the year saskatchewan border plans now be- because he said the wolves ate all j ing considered to
