Your Path

Your Path by Dr. Jim Dennison

Your path to “spiritual regeneration and eventual greatness”

Today is a wonderful day to choose the humility of Christmas.

In his deeply reflective book, Hidden Christmas: The Surprising Truth Behind the Birth of Christ, Timothy Keller notes: “There has never been a gift offered that makes you swallow your pride to the depths that the gift of Jesus Christ requires us to do. Christmas means that we are so lost, so unable to save ourselves, that nothing less than the death of the Son of God himself could save us.”

As a result, “To accept the true Christmas gift, you have to admit you’re a sinner. You need to be saved by grace. You need to give up control of your life. That is descending lower than any of us really wants to go. Yet Jesus Christ’s greatness is seen in how far down he came to save us. Your spiritual regeneration and eventual greatness will be achieved by going down the same path. He descended into greatness, and the Bible says it’s only through repentance that you come into his light.”

Have you humbly asked your Savior for the gift of salvation? If you have not, I sincerely invite you to come to the One who was born so that you could be born again to eternal life.

If you have trusted Jesus as your Savior, will you humble yourself before him as your King? Will you give yourself fully to the One who gave himself fully for you?

The gift Jesus wants for his birthday is you.
