Love is following Jesus’ lead.

Scripture Passage

Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are small among the clans of Judah; One will come from you to be ruler over Israel for Me. His origin is from antiquity, from eternity. Therefore, He will abandon them until the time when she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of His brothers will return to the people of Israel. He will stand and shepherd them in the strength of Yahweh, in the majestic name of Yahweh His God. They will live securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth. He will be their peace. …
-Micah 5:2‭-‬5 HCSB

Message

The First Advent was about Jesus coming to give us Salvation. The Second Advent will establish His kingdom over all the earth. We are in between, but must still follow His lead.

His sole command was for us to learn to Love each other. By following the leadership of Jesus Christ we can do just that. Loving one another does not have to be hard. It is what Jesus has commanded us, and it is what He has shown us how to do.

This Advent season does not have to be filled with anxiety. We work ourselves up every year over the presents and dinners and get togethers, but seldom take time to truly Love one another. Follow Jesus this year and spread Love to others. This year, let Jesus be your Hope, Peace, Joy and Love!

Prayer

Dear Lord and Savior,

We ask that You lead us, guide us, and direct us into Your ways. We ask that You help us to spread Your Love to others. We ask it all in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
