“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Beloved O Ministries Inc. Family,
The song “I Will Always Love You,” recorded by Whitney Houston, was voted the best love song of all time. If it's ever a time, I openly disagree with this one. The greatest love song ever recorded, in my opinion, is “JESUS Is The Light Of World.” His light is the world’s LOVE. Not some light but the WORLD’S light and love. It is GOD’S AGAPE LOVE that brought JESUS into His world. We have learned so far that the season of Advent prepares us for that first prophesied coming of JESUS the CHRIST. And that same prophecy is alive and well this last week of Advent.
The LOVE week brings all of what we have learned together in a perfect mold. Our HOPE plus our PEACE plus our JOY equals GOD’s Agape LOVE. Did you know JESUS really was the world’s very first divine and perfect valentine? Not a box of chocolate or a ring but an indescribable gift that the world could not buy. JESUS was the Advent and the free gift that became the most sacred event and gift in all human history. JESUS was the Holy incarnation that took human form on earth. Our great and almighty GOD, eternal and creator, became human. His AGAPE LOVE through His son JESUS lived and suffered on our behalf so that we could have eternal life.
“THAT’S LOVE.” JESUS exemplified Agape love by serving those who could never repay Him. He even gave His life for us to have eternal life with Him. “THAT’S LOVE.” Let us receive the AGAPE LOVE through JESUS and then give it back out to others this CHRIST-mas.
Remember:
AGAPE LOVE is JESUS CHRIST, the only begotten son of GOD. Agape Love is not just a feeling or giving a gift or baking cookies, but it’s a choice made on purpose to exercise LOVE in action like JESUS did without expectation of anything in return.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly FATHER,
Thank you, Lord JESUS, our master of both love and light of this Advent season. May your Holy Spirit undergird and empower our preparations for CHRIST-mas. -Amen, in JESUS' name.
