Kingdom Revelator Australia – Issue 83
To love and to be loved is a great desire of mankind. The Advent season is the perfect time to spread love. Often during the Christmas festivities, we fail to focus on the fact that Jesus is the reason for the season. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life” (John 3:16). It makes us feel good to give good gifts, specially seeing the joy on our loved ones’ faces when they unwrap
them. By giving Jesus, God delivered a perfect gift to mankind. Now have you ever wondered what kind of feeling God gets whenever one of His children opens up the gift He gave especially to them?
In the Gospel of John chapter 1:4 we read, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” God’s precious gift was meant for everyone, irrespective of their financial, physical or spiritual status. God wants everyone to have communion with Him, He doesn’t want anyone to go without opening this gift in his/her life. It’s reassuring to know that we are all on the same level and that we are under God’s mercy and love, hence we continue to remain in His grace.
What Jesus has done for us, no one else can or could do. He reconciled us to God and paved the way for our salvation. If you haven’t opened this free gift of salvation yet, then God is inviting you to do so now. Finally, let’s remind ourselves that Jesus is the reason for the season and let this fact make our Christmas a joyous one.
