Love Was Born

You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. –Luke 1:31 NLT

There is rejoicing when a baby is born. The miracle of creation is an awesome blessing. More than 2,000 years ago, a baby was born. His name was Jesus. He was not an ordinary baby— His birth changed history. The Father sent His Son down to earth, and on that day, Love was born.The Christmas story is told year after year about the birth of Jesus. That is only the beginning of the greatest story ever told. The power of that silent night was yet to be realized. He came to fulfill His mission—to save you. First John 4:9 (NLT) says, “God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.” He is the gift of hope for all those who receive Him.The Christmas season is filled with giving gifts and festivities. It is easy to forget the real reason for the season. The spirit of giving should remind us of the Ultimate Gift—our Savior. He is Immanuel, God with us. We need to celebrate with love in our hearts, a song of praise on our lips, and thankfulness for the best gift of all—Jesus.
