Celebrating Christmas: The Cost
12/13/09
Dr. Phil Wilkes, Phillipians 2:5-11
The average amount that a family in the United States will spend on Christmas will be between $500-$1000. If you wanted to give all the gifts mentioned in the Twelve Days of Christmas song it would cost $18,348.87. There is a cost for Christmas. But it is not defined by dollars and cents.
We celebrate Christmas because Jesus Christ was willing to leave heaven and allow Himself to be born a tiny infant in crude surroundings. Jesus gave up all the privileges of heaven to live as one of us and to bring us the free gift of eternal life. The gift of salvation is free to us but it cost God his only Son. This year as you celebrate Christmas remember the incredible lengths God has gone to because He loves you.
