Love – Isaiah 53:2; John 4:14; Philippians 2:1-11

There is a profound awe that comes when we pause and think about how the omnipotent God came to lIt is a season of preparation and expectation.  We live between two comings. God-the-Son coming in the flesh and the church awaiting His return. Our desire this year is to look at an honest advent, looking for the incarnational Christ; reflecting on those things that did take place, when they took place, the feelings and thoughts occurring to those involved, and marvel at the wonder and mystery that God is among us. Incarnation is the fancy word for God condescending to humanity and putting on flesh in order to be seen. In this miraculous act, God reveals His great love for us and at the same time He reveals the only way to be sustained in the fullness of this life is through that same love. Jesus demonstrates this for us. This morning we uncover what it means to receive and abide in the love of God.
