Way into the East, and many hundreds of miles away from there, the Magi was already on their road. Theyd seen His Star, and was coming to worship Gods little Gift Package that He was sending to the world. Just a little while from then, and the world was going to receive its greatest Gift that it ever received, a little Package wrapped up, a little, first little Christmas Package that was ever wrapped in all the world, God wrapped It up. I want to break in on my thought, and say this. The greatest thing was ever wrapped in human flesh was wrapped in It, God Himself wrapped His Ownself in a Christmas Package and sent it to the world. Why did they refuse It? Why couldnt they see It? Why did they turn It down? Why is it they didnt want It? The same reason they dont want It tonight. It wasnt handed to them in the custom that they were used to gifts being handed. Thats the reason Its rejected yet tonight, is because Its not handed to the people in the custom that they have been used to receiving gifts. But God wrapped His Own Package. Hes got a right to do it; Hes the One thats a-giving It. He has a right to wrap It any way He wants to wrap It. Doesnt make any difference how it is, Hes got a right to do it, because Hes the One thats giving the--the Gift. 60-1225 God’s Wrapped Gift The church dont want That. They want creed. We need love. The church is dying by creeds. It can only live by love, because love is Eternal Life. Love overcomes all things. Loves the most powerful force there is. No, they didnt want Him, because they knowed what was in the Gift. But some of them had it revealed to them, what--what this Gift was, what was in It. Some of them looked into It. I believe the first ones to look into that Christmas Package, you know who it was? I believe it was Angels. The Angels knew it. It was revealed to them. They knew it, because they come out on the hillside. 60-1225 God’s Wrapped Gift And you Presbyterians and all, you Pentecostals, Catholics and all, look back to Gods Christmas Gift. Look back to the Present. Throw away the box, and take the Present. Yes, sir. Get away from the tinsel of Santa Claus. Get back to the Gift of God. Get back to the Holy Spirit. Oh, I know Itll reveal a lot of things, but thats what you need: a cleaning up, scouring out. I know thats awful hard folks, but we got to have it. Its Gods Word. Yes, sir, its good for you. Thats right. Oh, yes. 60-1225 God’s Wrapped Gift
