1 John 4: 9 This is how God showed his love among us: he sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
John's letter repeats itself a lot. He is really trying to get the recipients to see that God is love, to understand the relationship between God and Jesus, and to know that they must love each other to serve both.
This seems a good summary of the truth about Christmas. We get the ultimate present in the birth we celebrate today. It stands for the depth of God's love for us.
Prayer: I pray for all God's people this Christmas morning. I pray for those closest to me, for those who suffer from grief, pain, loneliness and poverty, for the victims of injustice.
Amen
