The Glorious Incarnation Logo

Β β€œThat’s the kind of love the Father has. It is a giving love. It gives his most precious treasureβ€”his Son. Meditate on that this Advent. It was a very costly love. A very powerful love. A very rugged, painful love. The meaning of Christmas is the celebration of this love. β€œGod so loved . . .” And wonder of wonders, God gives this costly love to an undeserving world of sinners, like us.”

Β Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people; for there is born to you this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. In these words you clearly see that he is born for us. He does not simply say, Christ is born, but to you is born; neither does he say, I bring glad tidings, but to you I bring glad tidings of great joy. Furthermore, this joy was not to remain in Christ, but it shall be to all people.
