What is Thanksgiving to a Christian?
We "rejoice always" and "in everything give thanks"
(1 Thess. 5:16, 18, NKJV)—most of all, we give thanks for Jesus, the one gift that surpasses all others!!
We give thanks for the gift of who Christ is to us:
He chose to become a sacrifice for our sins (John 3:16).
Thanks for the gift of who Christ is for us:
He has made us more than conquerors (Romans 8:37).
Thanks for the gift of who Christ is over us:
He is LORD over all (Matthew 28:18-20).
Thanks for the gift of who Christ is before us:
He is our forerunner (Hebrews 6:20).
During this season of thankfulness, I thank the Lord for your heart of love, compassion, and giving!
Remember, the real treasure is on the inside:
Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).
