Love Was Born In A Manger 12/9/2022

 Good Morning,

It looks like we will have some slippery roads today. That just makes the Door County Christmas Coffee taste that much better. I love a good winter challenge.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever would believe in Him would have eternal life. 


As we celebrate Christmas in a couple of weeks, I am reminded that Jesus left heaven to save the world. He came into this world born of a virgin and his first breath took place in a smelly manger. When I compare a manger to heaven, it seems as heaven wins out every time. 

Jesus showed us the depth of His love all through his life. But just think of the love it took to leave heaven. Love was born in a manger. 

33 years later Love hung on a cross suffering a painful death and separation from God the Father. Jesus took on the sin of us all. One who knew no sin bore our sins and sorrow so that we might go to the heaven He left. Love hung on a cross. I believe all of heaven was ready to fight that day, but yet the commander never said a word. Love was silent before His enemies. He left this world triumphant and will return the same way. Love will come back. 

Just a little food for thought. Have a great day!

Marty
