December 1, 2016

“Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.” John 13:34-35

Love is never out of season but the Christmas season is when love shines the brightest. Love is at the heart of the Christmas story because God's love was expressed through the gift of His beloved Son, Jesus.

So, love and Christmas are inseparable. Christmas is so meaningful because love is so powerful.

Love is powerful because it brings significance from the one who loves to the one who is loved.

Love is powerful, too, because it brings security!

When you love someone and they love you back it gives you a sense of security. You know you are not alone in life when someone loves you. You know there is someone you can counsel with and count on if life gets tough. You know there will always be someone who will celebrate with you in the good times.

Security is why God sent Jesus!

Because of God's great love Jesus came to secure your eternal salvation by dying on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins. He secured your victory over death when He rose from the dead. He secured a personal relationship with you when He sent the Holy Spirit.

In an insecure world, you need the security that comes from loving Jesus and being loved by Him! 

That is why Jesus came at Christmas! You can be secure in that truth! 

God's love brings significance! 

God's love brings security!

Love has a Name and it's Jesus!
