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.
