First Day of Christmas

Here’s a brief blog series on each of the 12 days of Christmas, with the Christian meanings I listed previously.  I can’t discern any connection between the traditional gifts and the Christian meaning, so I’m ignoring that.

 

On the first day of Christmas, my True Love [God] gave to me:

A partridge in a pear tree

Jesus Christ our Savior, baby

 

Jesus of course is God’s first gift to the world.  God spoke the eternal Word, and by Him created the worlds in Genesis 1:2-3.  “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made” (Psalm 33:6).  They were made by Him and FOR Him (Colossians 1:16). 

 

God spoke again, and the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary.  The Word entered her womb and took on the flesh of a human embryo: Jesus of Nazareth.  God became a man to save men.

 

“God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” – John 3:16.

 

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” – 2 Corinthians 9:15
