Today we commenced our Christmas series focussing on John's alternative Christmas narrative ~ "For God so loved the world...". We were reminded that Christmas is about worship. Christmas means the “Mass of Christ”, or more simply, the 'worship of Christ'.God's expression of ‘Love’ is the key to the WONDER and JOYFUL CELEBRATION of Christmas. It is the very foundation of His actions toward us and our personal response toward Him.
Christmas is a time to remember that God shares his Heart Love with us, that we might
…know the heart of God
…experience the heart of God, and
…grow in the love of God.
There is truth in the saying, “Christmas began in the heart of God. It is complete only when it reaches the heart of man.”
Song 114 (SASB)
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful love, coming to me from Heaven above.
Filling me, thrilling me through and through. O it was wonderful love!"
