Christmas: God’s Message of Love
Dear Members and Visitors:
I am so glad that you came to worship with us on this very holy day. God has special blessings in store for you … Do you realize that you are loved by God? It is absolutely true. You are loved by God; you are a beautiful child of God. I am afraid that we do not appreciate this fantastic love. As humans, we can love a few people, but God is infinite. He can love each and every one of us with a wonderful love. There is a hymn that says: “I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have loved you, and you are mine.” That is the basic message of Jesus. Jesus, as the Son of God, loved each of us so much that he was willing to die for us. Now that’s real love!
Today we celebrate the birth of Jesus. As you look on the crib, just remember how much you are loved with a mighty and everlasting love. “I have loved you, and you are mine.”
Have a beautiful Christmas, filled with love.
Fr. John Maxwell
