雖然我們中的許多人在聖誕節期間都會贈送和接受禮物,但上帝給了我們一份我們永遠無法償還的禮物。為了交換我們的罪和羞恥,上帝派遣祂的兒子耶穌基督到世上作為我們的救世主,為我們提供了永恆的救恩。作為回報,我們所能做的就是接受這份非凡的禮物,並與最棒的禮物給予者建立關係。
當您準備好與朋友和家人一起度過聖誕節時,我們鼓勵您不僅分享禮物,還分享這個不配得救的好消息。您可以使用葛培理(Billy Graham)的存檔答案作為解釋今年聖誕節的簡單福音信息的工具。
問:昨天,我 9 歲的兒子問我為什麼要慶祝聖誕節,我不知道該告訴他什麼,只知道聖誕節是耶穌的生日。我還能說什麼呢?
答:我很感激你的兒子對聖誕節感到好奇,我希望你能盡一切努力讓他保持好奇心。你可以做到這一點的一種方法是為他祈禱,請求上帝讓他渴望認識耶穌並將自己的生命獻給他。
是的,我們在聖誕節慶祝 2000 多年前耶穌的生日。但耶穌是誰?聖經告訴我們,耶穌是神的兒子,祂從天上降下來,賜給我們任何人都能領受的最偉大的禮物-永生的禮物。從本質上講,我們因罪孽而與神隔絕,但耶穌來除掉我們的罪孽,使我們永遠成為神家中的一員。聖經說:「罪的工價乃是死;惟有神的恩賜,在我們的主基督耶穌裡卻是永生」(羅馬書 6:23)。
今年聖誕節,您的兒子可能會收到您送的許多禮物。你會盡一切可能把它們送給他——選擇它們、付錢、包裝它們並提供給他。但除非他真正把它們拿走並讓它們成為他自己的,否則它們不會真正屬於他。
耶穌基督也是如此。神已盡一切可能給我們救恩的禮物,但我們必須透過伸出援手並邀請祂進入我們的生活來接受它。如果您從未這樣做過,請轉向耶穌並請求他進入您的生活,接受上帝給您的聖誕禮物。並鼓勵你的兒子也這樣做。

虽然我们中的许多人在圣诞节期间都会赠送和接受礼物,但上帝给了我们一份我们永远无法偿还的礼物。为了换取我们的罪孽和耻辱,上帝派他的儿子耶稣基督来到人间作为我们的救世主,为我们提供了永恒的救赎。我们所能做的就是接受这份非凡的礼物,并与最伟大的礼物赠送者建立关系。
当您准备与朋友和家人共度圣诞节时,我们鼓励您不仅分享礼物,还要分享这个不配得救赎的好消息。您可以使用葛培理(Billy Graham)的这个存档答案作为解释这个圣诞节期间简单的福音信息的工具。
问:昨天,我 9 岁的儿子问我我们为什么要庆祝圣诞节,我不知道该告诉他什么,只知道这标志着耶稣的生日。我还能说什么呢?
答:我很感激你的儿子对圣诞节很好奇,我希望你能尽一切努力让他保持好奇心。你可以通过为他祈祷,祈求上帝让他渴望认识耶稣,并将自己的生命献给他。
是的,圣诞节我们庆祝 2000 多年前的耶稣诞辰。但耶稣是谁?圣经告诉我们,耶稣是上帝的儿子,他从天上降下来,给了我们任何人都能收到的最伟大的礼物——永生。我们生来就因罪与上帝隔绝,但耶稣来是为了带走我们的罪,让我们永远成为上帝家庭的一部分。圣经说:“因为罪的工价乃是死;唯有神的恩赐,在我们的主基督耶稣里,乃是永生”(罗马书 6:23)。
这个圣诞节,你的儿子可能会收到你送的许多礼物。你会尽一切可能把礼物送给他——挑选礼物、付钱、包装礼物、送给他。但除非他真正接受礼物并成为自己的礼物,否则这些礼物不会真正属于他。
耶稣基督也是如此。上帝尽一切可能赐予我们救赎的礼物,但我们必须接受它,伸出手去邀请他进入我们的生活。如果你从未这样做过,那就接受上帝给你的圣诞礼物,转向耶稣,请他进入你的生活。并鼓励你的儿子也这样做。
The Greatest Gift of All: Billy Graham’s Simple Explanation of Christmas (English)
Original from: “The Greatest Gift of All: Billy Graham’s Simple Explanation of Christmas” By Billy Graham • December 23, 2023 • BGEA.
While many of us both give and receive gifts during the Christmas season, God gave us a gift we will never be able to repay. In exchange for our sins and shame, God offered us eternal salvation by sending His son, Jesus Christ, to earth as our Savior. All we can do in return is accept this remarkable gift and pursue a relationship with the greatest gift-giver of all.
As you prepare to spend Christmas with your friends and family, we encourage you to share not only gifts, but also this Good News of undeserved salvation. You can use this archived answer from Billy Graham as a tool for explaining the simple Gospel message this Christmas season.
Q: Yesterday, my 9-year-old son asked me why we celebrate Christmas, and I didn’t know what to tell him, except that it marked Jesus’ birthday. What more could I have said?
A: I’m thankful your son is curious about Christmas, and I hope you’ll do all you can to keep his curiosity alive. One way you can do this is by praying for him, asking God to give him a desire to know Jesus and give his life to Him.
Yes, at Christmas we celebrate the birthday of Jesus more than 2,000 years ago. But who was Jesus? The Bible tells us Jesus was the Son of God, who came down from heaven to give us the greatest gift any person can ever receive—the gift of eternal life. By nature we are separated from God because of our sins, but Jesus came to take away our sins and make us part of God’s family forever. The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
This Christmas, your son will probably receive many gifts from you. You will have done everything possible to give them to him—choosing them, paying for them, wrapping them and offering them to him. But they won’t really be his until he actually takes them and makes them his own.
The same is true with Jesus Christ. God has done everything possible to give us the gift of salvation, but we must accept it by reaching out and inviting Him to come into our lives. If you have never done so, accept God’s Christmas gift to you by turning to Jesus and asking Him to come into your life. And encourage your son to do so, as well.
