Because of Christmas…Part 1

This month I want to focus, not just on the birth of Jesus, but the affect of His arrival on us all. Yes…salvation is the big one, but there’s so much more even to that.

I’ve been reflecting on what the Apostle Paul talks about in 2 Corinthians 5. Here’s my thought for today:

Jesus’ mission was one of love. Love brought Him to us. Love dominated His ministry. Love kept Him on that cross. Love continues to transform each of us. In fact, His love for us compels us to live differently:

“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” (2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NIV)
