Text: John 3:16.
Christmas is a season to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ therefore it's a season to remember how much God loves us. True Christmas is a season of love, but what kind of love? Christmas is a season of God's love. A season of the God's kind of love.
What is the God's kind of love?
John 3:16 says "for God so love the world, that he gave...". The keyword there is "gave". God gave, it required of him a sacrifice of giving. As christians we must show God's kind of love and there is no better season to show it than the Christmas season. We must show God's kind of love by obeying the great commission that says "go ye", we must spread the gospel of Christ abroad. We must be His witness even in this season. This is not a season to eat and drink but a season to give as we have received.
In that same john 3:16 it continues thus "...his only begotten son". God gave it all. He gave without reservations, He gave everything. Christians this season must emulate this kind of love by giving our time, our money, our material possessions, our whole being that we may populate the kingdom of heaven and depopulate hell. We must be radical for Jesus not by words of mouth but in deeds. The bible says "faith without work is dead", we must endeavour to do the work of the one who called us out of darkness into his marvellous light. In luke 2:49 Jesus said "wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?". We as christians must be by our Father's business this season.
It continues "...that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". Now that's wonderful news, that's the good news. The glorious news of salvation for the lost soul. This is the mission statement of our Father's business. We must show ourselves to be diligent workers by going out into the harvest this season. For a whole year we have planted this is the season of harvest.
Let's go out and show God's kind of love this Xmas season. God bless you. Amen.
Stay blessed.
