The greatest gift we have been given is not the gift of forgiveness but the gift to forgive. God sent his only begotten son to make it possible that we not live with the guilt of being a victim. When we forgive others it is not releasing the offender from responsibility, but releasing us from the offender so that we can be healed. As we celebrate this Christmas let us not forget that the greatest gift given was not wrapped in fancy paper and laid under a tree, but was wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. The master gift giver is Our Father, whose gift was and is eternally ours.

The Eternal Christmas Gift Of Forgiveness
