And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1:14
He laid aside His glory
He took on human flesh with all its frailties and frustrations.
Salvation was accomplished
Because He loved us.
Salvation required the Incarnation.
Immanuel is one of my favorite names for Jesus.
God with us. God who became flesh and dwelt among us.
A Savior who wanted to understand our grief and sorrow.
Because He loved us.
The love that began the moment God created us
Speaks most clearly through Jesus Christ.
At Christmas the boundless love of an infinite God speaks through a baby’s first cry.
All because He loved us.
(I’ll be back blogging on January 4. I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas and a blessed new year. From the bottom of my heart, I offer my deepest thanks to you for reading blog posts and books – especially Touched – for leaving reviews and recommending books to your friends, and for being part of this adventure. I never imagined God would connect me with such a gracious and supportive community. It is a privilege to write for you.)
