Gift of God Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ
The message emphasizes that God so loved the world and gave his gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Blessings come from His initiative, not human wisdom or worthiness, and Christmas invites humble hearts to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. The refrain echoes a silent, meek receiving of Christ.
