By: Dr Eliezer Gonzalez “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them. (Mark 15:12, NIV)The crowd asked Pilate to release Barabbas to them instead of Jesus. This didn’t help Pilate with the problem of what to do with Jesus, and so he asked the crowd. Pilate was still desperately trying to save Jesus. He was continually throwing the issue back to the people. He didn’t want to deal with it. But he had to.

“He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5, NIV)As little children, we learned that wounds were never good. They caused pain and fear, and they usually made us cry. We ran to our mum for comfort, or we just sat there crying, waiting for her to come, as she always seemed to do. But some wounds are beautiful. Those are the wounds that Jesus bore for you.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16, KJV)Jesus died for your sins. You should know this, for the Bible is full of the wonderful word “whosoever.”If Jesus so loved the world that he died (John 3:16), are you in the world or do you live somewhere else? If you live in the world, he died for you. God so loved you that he gave his Son for you.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15). Did you receive the perfect Christmas gift today? Ideally, it would have been a surprise, something you didn’t realise you needed, or something so costly you would never have given to yourself. Pause a moment in the festivities of this day and remember that we have already received the perfect gift. It is the essence of Christmas and the Gospel. That tiny baby in the manger of Bethlehem was indeed perfect in every way.

By: Dr Eliezer GonzalezWe know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. (1 John 4:16, NLT). It happens, especially if you’re tired. I mean that moment of semi-panic on the eve of Christmas when you think of all the gifts left to buy, and all the cards not sent! It takes energy to plan and do good things, and energy is often sadly lacking, even for the saints.
