The Best Gift

December 24, 2013 | 8 comments

What is the greatest gift you could receive this Christmas? Does it come in a box, under a tree, in an envelope, over the Internet or through the front door?

Special items and people may come from under wrapper or from far-away places, but there is one gift that supersedes them all, the gift of free and abounding love through Christ direct from God. And this gift has already been sent your way!

Without love, all the rest becomes empty and lonely.

So, seek the one gift that matters most this holiday season—the gift of Christ. It comes through valuing the spiritual above the material and increased spiritual understanding. Share it abundantly with others, for there is plenty to go around, and enjoy the days ahead.

Happy Christmas!

“In Christian Science, Christmas stands for the real, the absolute and eternal, — for the things of Spirit, not of matter.”
~Mary Baker Eddy, Miscellany, p. 260.

  1. This is so true! – and so comforting! I had bought a rather expensive Christmas gift for a family member and he did not want it – so I looked up something to give from JSH online and I found a beautiful poem in an ancient Herald! I printed it out on a special paper and this was the perfect gift for this dear one!
    How good to know that God’s gift to mankind is so much bigger than material giving!
    I wish you a blessed Christmas!

  2. The best gift and the only gift of all times and all seasons is the book S&H With Key To The Scriptures by MBE, with the prayer from the giver that the receiver would be completely receptive to it.

  3. Dear Evan,
    You are giving us a ‘present’ five times a week – Monday thru Friday
    and for that we are ever grateful. Look forward to the truths you share each day.
    Thank you – and bless you and your dear wife with the abundance of God’s infinite goodness – always
    Much love as we continue ONWARD AND UPWARD !

  4. Evan:

    Thanks for giving us the CS Class along with your yearly sessions in keeping us focus.
    Yes Tobis, you are in direct Divine Thought
    Christian Science, yes I agree.

    AS Mary Baker Eddy said, “God is my Life”

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

  5. Thanks for this! And all the others too!

    I am grateful to have so many blessings in my life, and Christian Science is one of many – but a very important one, because it helps me appreciate all the rest!

    Merry Christmas!
