Love
from HopeInMadison · host Andy Wulff
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. - 1 John 4:10–11 (ESV) What part of Christmas celebrations are you most looking forward to? Receiving presents? Giving presents? Spending time with family and friends? We all desire to be loved, especially around Christmas time, but we want that love expressed in different ways for it to seem meaningful to us. Some people call this your 'love language'. Built into Advent is true love. It is love that has been expressed. It has been given not just to those who 'deserve' it or to those who will return it, but has been given to rebels in their rebellion. It's a love that is grander than we can imagine. This Sunday we want to look at this love. Take a few minutes to read John, the 'Apostle of Love', writing to his 'little children' in 1 John 4. It's a simple but important passage not only to display this love, but draw us toward living it out to those around us.
