The Riches We Receive Through Christ

The Bible teaches that Jesus, though rich in glory, chose to become poor for our sake. He left the greatness of heaven and entered our world, carrying the burden of sin so that we could share in the wealth of His grace.

When we think about what this means, it is clear that we now live with riches far greater than anything money can buy. These are treasures of the soul. The include mercy, reconciliation, and hope that lasts forever. Because of this, giving to others should not feel like a duty but a natural response.

By sharing what we have, we reflect the heart of Christ, who gave everything for us.

2 Corinthians 8:9

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

A Gift of Love: Sharing the Spirit of Christmas

In this busy Christmas season, Jeff Treece of Sunday Drive reminds us of a precious gift we can give that doesn’t cost a thing – the gift of love and kindness.

Treece suggests, “At Christmas time, it’s the perfect time to share joy and be a light in the world.” He points out that while many people are rushing around trying to find the perfect present, Christians have an opportunity to make a real difference.

“If we, as Christians, just slow down a little bit and share the love when we get out amongst people,” Treece says, we can have a positive impact on those around us. This simple act of kindness aligns with the true spirit of Christmas.

Treece emphasizes the importance of this gesture, stating, “We want to take people to heaven with us, that’s the ultimate goal.” This reflects the Christian belief in sharing God’s love and message with others.

He adds a personal touch, saying, “Me, personally, I want the Lord to put his arms out and say, ‘Jeff Treese, you told body.'” This shows his deep desire to fulfill what he sees as a Christian duty to spread love and joy.

Treece concludes with a call to action: “So let’s share love. Let’s be the light out in the world this Christmas season.” This echoes the biblical teaching found in Matthew 5:16, which encourages believers to “let your light shine before others.”
