“The Gift That Keeps on Giving”

Message Summary: “The Gift That Keeps on Giving”

The message focused on Jesus Christ as the ultimate gift that keeps on giving. We are truly blessed in our lives, and we are reminded that Jesus knows exactly where we are, walks with us through every season, and loves us unconditionally.

Like any gift, Jesus is given freely—out of pure love from the Giver. Yet the sermon emphasized a powerful truth: a gift must be received, cherished, and used. The gift of Jesus Christ is a choice. We can accept and embrace Him for eternity, or we can discard the gift—like an unwanted sweater at Christmas—letting it be forgotten and left in the back of a closet. As we live our lives, we must be careful not to take this gift for granted, discard it, or allow it to be neglected and forgotten.

Salvation through Jesus is not earned; it is freely given. When we choose to embrace this gift, it continues to give—bringing forgiveness, renewal, purpose, and eternal life.

Scripture reinforces this truth:

“But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

—Romans 6:22–23

Jesus Himself speaks of this lasting, life-giving gift:

“But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

—John 4:14

Ultimately, the sermon reminds us that the gift of Jesus Christ is freely given, offered in love, and meant to be embraced daily—not ignored, discarded, or forgotten—so that it may continue to give life now and for eternity.
