Un-wrapping the Gift of Salvation: The Gift of Knowing God (Matthew 2/Luke 1). “The greatest thing in all my life is knowing You.” Those are the words of a simple chorus from the 1980’s. But they reflect the third and greatest of all the gifts that God has offered to mankind. 
     The birth of Jesus Christ as God in human flesh, as the incarnation of the invisible God, has become the doorway to knowing God. We have been looking at and un-wrapping the gifts God gave at Christmas, and have already seen:
The First Two Gifts
First, in Matthew 1:21, we un-wrapped the truth attached to “the One who will save His people from their sins”. At the moment of our salvation, all our sins were forgiven, instantly, by the gracious work of Christ on the cross.
Second, in Matthew 1:23, we un-wrapped another truth as we learned that the One Who saves us is Emmanuel, or “God with us”! So salvation means that—we get all of God! We have all the fullness of God in the Person of Christ, who dwells in us!  
Thirdly, this week we are going to unwrap the truth that salvation opens to us the wonder of  Knowing God. To do so we need to turn to Matthew 5-7. As we examine this account of Christ applying the wonder of God with us birth, we learn that knowing God is a gift that so many hear about, talk about, even get involved with, but sometimes never personally experience.
