This week we shift our focus to the second theme of Advent: love. When most of us think of love, we think of a feeling. But the kind of love that we set our eyes on as followers of Jesus is one of action and sacrifice. We know that Jesus demonstrated his love for us by laying down his life (1 John 3:16). In turn, the way that we love others should reflect this same kind of selflessness and sacrifice.

Today, Kiki Moyer (Director of Small Groups at Calvary Church) is here to tell us about how her encounter with the sacrificial, unconditional love of Jesus changed her life. Growing up, Kiki believed that doing good work and being a good person would be enough to save her. But when she went to college and started experiencing the love and kindness of her peers, she began to know, understand and accept that true salvation comes only through the good work of Christ. Kiki’s testimony is a reminder that having a personal relationship with Jesus truly changes our perspective on what it means to pursue a life of love.
