“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 KJV
WELCOME TO THE SEASON OF CELEBRATING ADVENT
JESUS is the greatest eternal CHRIST-mas Love. Finally…the 4th week of Holy Advent is today, and the LOVE of JESUS is shining as bright as the brightest star was shining on the night He was born. The theme of Holy Advent's fourth Sunday is LOVE. It’s that same amazing love that GOD had in mind when He sent his only son to save us from death and sin. JESUS is our crystal clear example of LOVE. His earthly assignment was to model and teach all the people connected to Him how to LOVE GOD and others. That was GOD’S original plan then, and it is the plan for today.
This is why only JESUS can wear the title “The Greatest Gift.” Because there is no greater gift than when a man lays down his life for his friends, the Holy JESUS did that for us, and His Holy and righteous blood still covers all the sins of the world. Do you need a savior today? JESUS’ sacrificial LOVE redeems and restores us when we confess and accept Him as the LORD and Savior of our lives. That alone is Advent CHRIST-mas year round because JESUS was the first Advent CHRIST-mas, and He will be last.
Remember:
JESUS is the greatest CHRIST-mas gift because it is the gift that keeps on giving. Have a Merry Blessed CHRIST-mas!
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly FATHER,
Thank you for your only begotten son, JESUS, our LORD and Savior, being all the four themes of Advent CHRIST-mas. May the serenity of hope, peace, joy, and love be the spiritual gifts we adorn ourselves with for your Glory and our good. -Amen, in the Loving name of JESUS.

Food For Thought:
"All of the mercy God is capable of showing, all of the redeeming grace that He could pour from His heart, all of the love and pity that God is capable of feeling--all of these are at least suggested here in the message that He came!” -A.W. Tozer
