We’re almost at the end of Red Letter Advent, where we are unboxing the four gifts of hope, peace, joy, and today, the LOVE of Jesus. So far, we’ve heard that the everyday, human understanding of each of these gifts is different than the way God uses them in His Word, the Bible. Last week, for instance, we heard that the word “JOY” is not so much an emotion word, as it is a word about our response to Him because of the gifts He gives us. Today, we’ll think about what God means when He uses the word “LOVE” - and you might be in for a surprise or two about this word, too.

So, welcome back to Red Letter Advent, and the gift of LOVE!
