The Weary World Rejoices!
“Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be
extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in
small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” – Mother
Teresa
1
John 4:7-21 In this passage of
scripture... we learn that REAL love comes from ONLY ONE PLACE!
Do YOU
look for Love in all the WRONG places?!
God’s
promise to His Creation was that His Love would be ABUNDANT!
Exodus 34:6-7
Does the Love of God Sound Too Good To Be True? Then MEASURE
it!
1.
God’s
GIFT of Love to you is measured by its USEFULNESS!
a.
Vs
9 –
The Usefulness is this...”that we might have LIFE!”
b.
"I have come that they
may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10
2.
God’s gift to you is measured by its COST.
a.
John 3:16 There is no
greater cost than self sacrifice! Listen to the parents of children killed this
past week share of how their children’s life is touching so many around our
country!
3.
God’s present to you is measured by its EFFECTIVENESS.
a.
REAL Love realized creates CHANGE in us
that then begins to flow out of us! – Psalm 51
1 John 4: 9-11 If God’s REAL LOVE
that was born in a manger, that lived and died and was raised from the
dead...has entered YOUR heart... then LIVE OUT that REAL LOVE by loving others!
Discover REAL LOVE that comes from ONLY one place...Jesus!
Embrace it...Walk IN it.... and Give it away to someone
else!
MERRY
CHRISTMAS!
