Recognizing God’s Greatest Gift (Christmas 2025)

In this special Christmas episode of Bible Bytes, Randy explores the deeper meaning behind the first Christmas gifts. Beginning with the visit of the wise men in Matthew 2, we look at the symbolism of gold, frankincense, and myrrh—gifts that pointed to Jesus’ kingship, divinity, and future sacrifice. These weren’t simple treasures; they were acts of worship that recognized who Jesus truly is.

From there, the episode turns to the greatest gift ever given: God’s gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. Through passages like John 3:16, 1 John 4:9–10, and Isaiah 9:6, we’re reminded that Jesus brings hope, peace, guidance, and eternal life—gifts that never fade and continue to transform lives today.

Randy reflects on how we can respond to these gifts in our own lives through gratitude, meaningful giving, service, and daily worship. Through practical examples and heartfelt moments, this episode encourages listeners to see Christmas not just as a season of receiving, but as a time to honor Christ with our lives and share His love with others.
