Today was the first Sunday in Advent: just a fancy name to say that we are going to reflect on the love of a Father who sent his Son. His perfect Son,who was also God, came as a human.
From Tim Keller:
"There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To have us back... No other religion - whether secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam - believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body."
That is a different kind of love... love like none other. Let us celebrate Christmas, not in a sentimental, sappy sort of way, but in awe and wonder at a God that would become flesh and dwell among us.
