The Greatest of All Time

Dec 21, 2025    Marcus Stenson

The greatest gift ever given wasn't what anyone expected. Born in a stable to a peasant family, Jesus shattered every expectation of what greatness should look like. While the world chases fame, power, and recognition, the King of Kings arrived in humility - announced not to emperors, but to shepherds, the outcasts of society.


This Christmas, we're reminded that true greatness isn't measured by what we gain, but by what we give. Jesus gave everything - leaving heaven's glory to rescue us from futility and give us eternal life. Romans 8 tells us that because He was given, God will graciously give us all things along with Him.


The question isn't whether you're good enough or great enough. The question is: will you accept the gift? No matter your background, your past, or what makes you feel insignificant, the Greatest of All Time chose to work through nobodies like us. All ground is level at the foot of the cross.
