Jesus’ first gift is Salvation.
Have you ever had someone give you a large gift, but when you unwrapped the box and opened it, you saw another wrapped box, and another one inside that? The friend at your party intended it as a joke, and to make you work until you found the final good thing inside.
Jesus’ first gift is not like that. Salvation is not a joke, and you don’t have to work to achieve it. He did all the work for you, and it was no task that could be delegated to anyone else.
Neither is Jesus’ first gift as limited as rescue, though first-responders labor and struggle mightily to achieve that.

Rescue only saves a person’s living body. Salvation is about your soul.
Soul does not mean your ethnic background, or strong emotion. It isn’t a variety of music or a delicious recipe. Neither is your soul equal to God, despite what some people attempt to claim.

What then?

My soul, and yours, was a characteristic given by God the Father at the moment our parents’ genetic material mixed and lived. God the Father gave our souls so that we, his creations, have the opportunity to imitate Him in ways objects and animals (no matter how fond we may be of them) cannot do.
Our soul is Why our bodies developed in the womb. It makes you you, and me, me. In this damaged world, peoples’ bodies die and decay. My soul, your soul, does not. Though it departs from a corpse, it is permanently living and will be permanently aware.
Where? Jesus’ first gift has everything to do with that. God the Son is so generous, that He offers you this complete, massive-beyond-description gift so you can accept it from his hands. Salvation admits you to attend His party.
Please, accept Jesus’ first gift, irrevocable Salvation. I don’t want you to miss out.
