Advent 2009:: The Coming LOVE Wednesday

Wednesday Love::

Read 1 John 4:10

God is the love; not us. Jesus is the love; not us. When Jesus was born to Mary in that stable, true love that gives of itself for the betterment of another was born. True love that has no motive other than the object of love was born.

You might need to know what propitiation means. Simply put, it means "paid for." Jesus is loved defined. That definition is to come and bring to us what we could not bring to ourselves, which is the payment for sin and reconciliation with God.

Pastor and author John Piper says, “"Love is bringing the object of your love to a place where they are enthralled with that which will eternally satisfy the soul, namely Jesus."

Jesus is love. Christmas truly is THE COMING of love.
