The Unbridled Love of God
As we embark on our holiday journeys, we’re reminded of the sacrifices we make to be with those we love. The cramped trunks, the chaotic airports – it’s all worth it to share in the joy of the season with family and friends. But have you ever stopped to consider the ultimate sacrifice made by God Himself?
Bridging the Distance
There was a time when a great chasm existed between God and humanity. And yet, He couldn’t bear the thought of being separated from us. His love for us was too great, too unrelenting. So, He took drastic measures to bridge the gap.
A Servant’s Heart
As the apostle Paul so eloquently put it, “He was born to be a man and became like a servant” (Philippians 2:7). The Creator of the universe, the King of kings, willingly laid aside His divine privileges to become one of us. He “gave up his place with God and made Himself nothing” (Philippians 2:6). The implications are staggering.
A Love That Transcends
God’s love knows no bounds, no distances. He desires to be with us, to walk alongside us, to share in our joys and sorrows. And He’s willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that happen. As we reflect on the true meaning of the holiday season, let us not forget the ultimate act of love that brought God to our doorstep.
A Gift Worth Embracing
This holiday season, as you’re surrounded by loved ones, remember that God’s love is the greatest gift of all. It’s a love that seeks us out, that bridges the gaps between us, and that invites us into an eternal relationship. May we cherish this gift, and may it inspire us to love others with the same unbridled passion that God has shown us.
