 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal
life.” John 3:16 ESV
God has always loved us, and He showed His love by doing the
unthinkable and most extreme act of love possible. He gave His only
Son as a sacrifice for us to make a way for our imperfect selves to
one day abide in the perfect place, with a perfect God, covered by a
perfect love!
This Christmas may we recognize the greatest gift ever given was in
God giving us His son, Jesus Christ!
God entrusted Mary and Joseph to raise His only son from the
vulnerable state of a baby into a young man who would change the
world forever. God’s love and trust is still upon us today. God
wants each one of us to experience His amazing love demonstrated in
the person and sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ.
God also wants to entrust us with a responsibility similar to that
of Mary and Joseph. When you receive Jesus, will you strive to walk
with Him daily and do His work? Will you answer the call of God to
help share this amazing love? Will you strive to reciprocate the
love of God back towards Jesus and those He died for on the cross?

As we celebrate Christmas this year; may we celebrate
God’s love and answer the call to share His love with all!
God Bless and Merry Christmas!
