I was listening to a local radio show. The host was inviting debates whether adults should exchange gifts during the holiday season. The host argued only kids could be surprised by gifts while adults should be able to purchase things whenever they need. The primary, if not sole, advantage of exchanging gifts among adults is that this promote expenditure and hence, speed up economic growth.
As an economist, I agree shopping can stir up our economy. As a Christian, I don't agree the principle that adult does not need gift. What is the greatest gift of all time? The greatest gift ever is that God died on the cross for us and took away our sins. Who can receive this gift? Only those who are born again, which means they need to be mature enough to commit themselves to Christ. This gift is for any adults and most importantly, it is free. We are all sinners and we need this gift from God!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
