While this season is often called the season of love, if we are honest, we do not always seem that love shown in tangible ways. In fact, how many times have we heard the story of shoppers being tramped for a certain deal or people fighting over a specific toy? Movies have even been made with some of those storylines. And every time I hear them, I wonder how that reflects the love of Jesus.
It doesn't.
Fighting over toys and deals is not why God sent Love to us in Jesus Christ.
No, Christ came to call us home. To show us what love actually means and looks like with flesh on it. Christ came to invite us into Kingdom love.
Sometimes there are signs this time of the year that proclaim: "Come Home for Christmas". While the sign may be inviting us to come to a physical home, Christ has come to invite us to our spiritual home.
But it isn't just about us. It's about inviting folks to come and join. To come and experience this awesome power of love in their own lives as well.
How have you experienced the love of Jesus?
