Even though Christmas has passed for another year, it is difficult to forget
as we celebrate Valentines Day. Both represents love. They are both times in
which we choose to express our love toward one another.
The true meaning of Christmas is God becoming a human being in the Person of
Jesus Christ. Why did God do such a thing? Because He loves us! Why was
Christmas necessary? Because we needed a Savior! Why does God love us so much?
Because He is love (1 John 4:8)! Why do we celebrate Christmas each year? Out of
gratitude for what God did for us, we remember His birth by giving each other
gifts, worshipping Him, and being especially conscious of the poor and less
fortunate.
The true meaning of Christmas is LOVE. God loved us so much that He wanted to
provide a way for us to spend eternity with Him. He gave His only Son to take
our punishment for our sins, He paid the price in full! We are free from
condemnation when we accept that free gift of LOVE. "But God demonstrated His
own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"
(Romans 5:8 ALT). (Romans 5:8 KJV)
During Valentines we see big red hearts displayed in the stores as reminders to
remember the ones we love. Jesus is the origial LOVE. Hearts sing across every
card we receive. Do you need Jesus to come into your heart today? To give you
hope? Just ask. He'll come. If you need help with this, please feel free to
contact us. Send us your phone number. We'll be glad to pray with you.
