Happy Wednesday, everyone!

The Christmas story is a story of love...God’s love. His love is so profound that we can’t really understand it. It’s a giving and forgiving love...a love that doesn’t keep track of all the wrongs we do, but rather waits patiently for us to confess them so He can forgive and cleanse us and restore our relationship (1 John 1:9).  The second Sunday of Advent celebrates the love that moved God the Father to send Jesus to be our Savior.

It is love that shows the world their need for Jesus - God’s love for us, our love for God, our love for each other, and our love for others. Jesus said, “Everyone will know you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” It’s love that causes us to give gifts to one another at Christmas. Love reminds us to put our change in the bell-ringer’s bucket; to look for needy families to bless with gifts; to put cards in the mail for family members or service members or those who are alone during the holidays.

Let’s come together this Sunday to love each other and be reminded of the great love the Father showed us when He sent Jesus at Christmas.  I hope I see you there!
