Advent – Week 4: Love
The fourth Week of Advent is the week of Love. This verse tells us that Jesus came because God loves us so much that he doesn’t want any of us to miss out on spending eternity (forever) with him. All we have to do is believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to save us from sin. God’s love for us is one of the main themes the Apostle John wrote about in the Bible. He tells us in another verse that the greatest love anyone can have is to give their life for others (John 15:13). He also tells us we are to love one another because love comes from God (I John 4:7).
It is this love for one another that prompts us to give gifts at Christmas – and yet we know that the best gift is one’s self. Give kind words, smiles, gentleness and forgiveness this Christmas. Remember to light the candle of love in your heart so that you, too, can say yes to God.
