We’ve all heard the expressions “good things come in threes” or ” bad things come in threes”. I am not sure if these expressions are true but they are pretty much universally accepted. Whether it be deaths within a family or births, three of these events seem to happen within a short period of time. I don’t know if we are just sensitive to these occurrences or are actively looking for them.
The apostle Paul tells us about three gifts God gives us in Colossians 1:3-5. “We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints; because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel.” Faith, hope and love are the greatest gifts you can receive this Christmas. They are also the greatest gifts that you can give. Ask God to give them to you so that you can pass them onto others.
