He’s great in both power/stature and personal relationship

Valuable (Cost & Sentiment)

God’s gift of Jesus is the most valuable

Eternal - the gift of time

His presence - the gift of Himself (celebrity illustration)

No gift that cost as great

But also no gift that is more personal - expound

The gift of Jesus is usable every second of every day from now until the other side of eternity
