A Christmas Gift

A man sent his elderly parents a mobile phone one Christmas. Here’s how he recalls the experience:

“They were excited that now they, too could be part of the instant generation. When Dad unpacked the phone and switched it on, literally within seconds the phone transformed two smiles into a frown! Even after reading the directions, they couldn’t make it work.

Two days later, my mother was visiting a friend and confessed her inabilty to get the mobile phone to work.

“To get this darn thing to work,” she exclaimed, “I really don’t need better directions; I just need my son to bring the gift in person!”

When God gave the gift of salvation, he didn’t send a booklet of complicated instructions for us to figure out; he sent his Son.
