Looking in the Window: Merry Christmas! Jesus Is with Us.

Luke 2: 11-12, “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. You will find a baby wrapped in cloths lying in a manger.”

God sent Jesus to save sinners, because he loves us.

In the Bible the Pharisees asked Jesus, “…which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” He told them “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it. Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22: 36 – 39).

Christmas brings the message of a Savior who loves us so much He suffered for our sins to the point of death.

Then a miracle occurred.

Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven, but He didn't leave us alone.

Matthew 28:20: "And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

His spirit and His love live with us today.

Where does the love come from, and how can we get it?

Sometimes we attempt to buy, demand or create love, but we can't. We may make another person say words or dictate their actions, but we can't control what's in anyone else's heart. Love is a gift. It must be given and received.

If we accept the gift of love given on Christmas in Bethlehem and again on the cross, Jesus' spirit lives with us and His love flows from us to others.

Before I do that, I’d like to take just a moment and thank Gail for inviting me to her blog. It’s an honor and a joy to be here! A little about me, hmm? Well, I have brown eyes and blondish hair, I’m 5’1” tall, and weigh…. Thank the Lord those tidbits aren’t what you’re looking for! My dad worked for the Veterans Administration, so the family lived in a slew of cities. I held a myriad of careers to pay my way through school, and all that working and moving is probably responsible for my ability to talk to just about anybody, anywhere. For the past 20 years, though, I’ve lived in the same house and worked at the same job: Writing. And I love both. Being a people person is definitely a plus. Were you an avid reader as a ...
