What2Say2Day? Today I want to talk about what it is we can do to show the steadfast love of Christ to those around us. During the season of Advent we took a look at bringing hope to people through encouragement and prayer. We also talked about finding our inner peace and bringing that peaceful presence to others. The third week we spoke about the joy we will know (or already know) through God's promises and ways that God's people dealt with times of trouble and devastation. This week is about love and what we can do to make God's Kingdom a better place to live in. The answer, my friends, is within the messages of Advent. By bringing Hope, Peace and Joy to those around us Love will have no choice but to grow in the lives and hearts of humankind. Advent will soon be done, and we'll celebrate the season of Christmas, a time when we realize that Christ came to this world for everyone, not to condemn it, but to bring everlasting peace. As John 3:16 and 17 reminds us:
‘God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.Be the Christ our world is looking for. Love, do not condemn.
‘Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
This is going to be my final post until after Christmas. Merry Christmas to all, and may your lives and the lives of those around you be filled with Hope, Peace, Joy and Love!
