At Christmas, love is often measured by effort—what we give, how much we serve, and how busy we stay. But the love we need most can’t be earned or performed. In the final week of our Advent series, Until He Came, we’re reminded that real love didn’t arrive as activity or obligation. It arrived as a person.

Pastor Tyler points us to Jesus as the true expression of love—love that moves toward us, sacrifices for us, and invites us into relationship. This message calls us to lay down performance-based love and receive the transforming love God has already given us in Christ.

Questions for Reflection:

• In what ways do you find yourself trying to earn love through effort, performance, or activity?

• What might it look like this week to rest in the love Jesus has already shown you rather than striving to prove yourself?
