Sunday is Christmas Sunday! As we move through the themes of Advent, this week we focus on the love of God we receive at Advent. John 3:16 is the most well known verse in all scripture and there we read that “God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son.” The Advent of Christ must be viewed as a gift, motivated by the pure love of God for us.
At Christmas we give gifts to various people in our lives, from close family members to people we barely know. The gifts we enjoy giving the most are ones we give motivated out of love for the person we give the gift to. But even then we may feel anxiety wondering if it is a good gift that they will like and enjoy. Sunday we will see that the gift of love at Advent is the right gift at the right time, a gift money cannot buy and a gift that keeps on giving. Join me as we celebrate God’s great gift of love to us in His Son, Jesus Christ.
