Scripture: John 1:14–17

"GIFT" - The Fullness of God's Grace 
John 1:15-17               Dr. Scott Hanberry

The love of God was most clearly demonstrated in the arrival of Jesus to be our Savior. The grace of God is most fully expressed in Jesus Christ, the greatest gift of all. God gave His One and only Son, Jesus. Why? he sent Jesus so that whoever believes in Him might not perish, might not be lost, forever cut-off from God & cut off from hope, but instead be given eternal life. This is the greatest gift of Christmas - it is the gift of God's Son to be our Savior. Today, let's consider that gift!
