There are many reasons why Christians should be thankful; but sometimes we can be so caught up in our material blessings that we miss what should be the most significant object of our gratitude.
Paul had his priorities right when he said, “Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15). Paul was so overcome with gratefulness that he couldn’t even put his thoughts into words.
Of all the gifts that God has given us, of all the blessings He has showered upon us, there is none greater and there is none more deserving of our gratitude than the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Everything else pales into insignificance when compared with the holy, sinless Son of God.
There’s good reason for us to be thankful for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Without Christ we have a sentence of death hanging over all our heads for “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) and “the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Without Christ there is no salvation “…for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Without Christ there is no other way to the Father because Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but by me” (John 14:6).

Yes, it’s right and proper to be thankful for the material blessings we enjoy; but let’s put them in proper perspective. The hymn writer reminds us:
“There was no other good enough to pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate of heaven and let us in.”
