Consider these amazing words of Jesus Christ: “42 Jesus said to them, ‘If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God.
I have not come on My own; God sent Me” John 8:42.
Here is the definitive reason to love Jesus Christ, unconditionally, without your thoughts filling your brain with arguments and reasons why Jesus is not the single person to love in our sin-filled lives. Jesus Christ is from God! In other words, Jesus is God. So we don’t have a bunch of Gods, we have just ONE GOD. Christmas day is the day we celebrate that God - in Jesus Christ - came to us as a human being, sent by God “Our Father who art in heaven.”
So today Jesus is inviting us to do the most defining and most important thing we will ever do in our life - LOVE JESUS CHRIST WHO IS GOD.
Now if this isn’t enough to bring to prayer today, I don’t what is! Jesus don’t have His own personal agenda, because He is God, fully God. He and the Father are One. Jesus never took off and left the father behind to do his own thing. Everything Jesus did came from his father. And if you love Jesus you love God. And if you love Jesus you will never be disappointed. And remember, this is a labor, an act, of love.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.
