LOVE comes down, from Kingdom high to manger low.
LOVE, wrapped in soft flesh.
LOVE, leaving behind royalty for servant hood.
LOVE, in proactive form, came to give and empty and make Himself payment for crimes He could never do.
LOVE, led by example, is more than mere words of beauty.
LOVE is sacrifice…it is acting out the example that gave up all for the sinful, wicked, dirty, shameful soul.
LOVE is God.
Do we love like Christ? Do we leave behind comfort and lay low our rights to give and to serve? Does our love take on verb tense? Are we actively loving the unlovely? For to speak love, words can flow without sacrifice and thought. Words are easy…but love lived behind the words are what Jesus came to show, what Jesus came to give. He offers true love…and we, His image-bearers, are to offer up that love just as He. Are we? Am I?
