Today's verse is 1 John 4:9. "This is the revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that we might have life through him."
Is this not what Christmas is about. God coming to us so that we may have life. What more could we ask for. In a world that is full of darkness, the only hope that I see is in the life of Jesus Christ and the promises of the covenant God has written on our hearts. Can you imagine any other power that is greater than God or has done anything in this world to better the world? Some may say science, technology, laws, government have done so. Yet, I would challenge you to look around and say is what we witness in the world what you imagine for your children and their children and their children's children. I don't see what the worldly powers have done to eliminate poverty, to feed the masses, to offer hope in areas of the world where hope is often absent. It is through God that the greater good can happen.
I am not suggesting that there are not religions that twist and manipulate the word of God to fit their own agendas. Rather let us in our belief of our Messiah Jesus live according to his teachings and to God's purposes. Than that revelation of love God has sent can be shared with those around us.
