Greater love…


“This is my command: Love each other.”

 John 15:17

 
 
Agape.

Unconditional love.

A pure love that causes a consuming passion for the well-being

of others regardless of the cost to the person.

Tomorrow we celebrate CHRISTmas around the globe.

What a great demonstration of God’s love.

Years ago a songwriter expressed it this way –

“Love was when God became a man.”

Jesus said this concerning love:

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.

John 5:13

Jesus was, quite literally, born to die.

He knew that and He willingly laid down His life for you and I – His friends.  

Let that true meaning of CHRISTmas sink into your spirit.

Jesus demonstrated that unconditional love through His death on the cross.

It was made available to you and me by His resurrection.

We can be His ‘carriers’ of unconditional agape love by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us.

This CHRISTmas don’t just display His love with a manger scene in your home.

Display it to others through His love in your heart expressed by your actions.
