[QUOTE="Amy, post: 2054104, member: 211355"] I plan to rejoice in and celebrate JESUS CHRIST! The greatest gift mankind received was not under the tree but on it. It is the gift of Jesus Christ --His birth, death and resurrection on our behalf, to pay the penalty for our sins, to ransom and us restore us and bring us to Himself. HE is the Treasure to be enjoyed. And only in Christ, the Living Water, is the soul satisfied. "I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time)." (John 6:35) "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure buried in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44) "The chief end of man is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever." (John Piper, "Desiring God") “[Men] drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; and You give them to drink of the river of Your delights” (Psalm 36:8) "My heart rejoices in the Lord” (1 Samuel 2:1a) "In Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.”? (Psalm 16:9b) “Oh the depths of the riches ...of God!” (Romans 11:33) “Make the Almighty your...treasure,” (Job 22:25). "I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (overwhelming preciousness, surpassing worth, supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus...” (Philippians 3:8-9) "For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God." (1 Peter 3:18) What a great question. [/QUOTE]
