The Glorious Incarnation Logo

Β β€œThus says the Lord: the meaning of Christmas is that what is good and precious in your life need never be lost, and what is evil and undesirable in your life can be changed. The fears that the few good things that make you happy are slipping through your fingers, and the frustrations that the bad things you hate about yourself or your situation can’t be changedβ€”these fears and these frustrations are what Christmas came to destroy. It is God’s message of hope this Advent that what is good need never be lost and what is bad can be changed.”

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.”
