A GREAT GIFT IN UGLY WRAPPING

In the Christmas season we wrap gifts or pay for it to be done.  Some of us are as careful of the way we cover the presents as we are of what we put inside. As an 80’s tv father once said, “It’s all about the presentation.”  But what if it isn’t.  What if someone offered you the greatest gift you’d ever receive, but they placed the gift in the ugliest, most unappealing possible place and circumstances.  That actually happened for all of us about 2,000 years ago.  Take a new, and possibly disturbing, look at the nativity. 

The title of the message is A GREAT GIFT IN UGLY WRAPPING.


Listen well.
