We are recipients of a gift
God loves us He sent Jesus, we think of love as transactional.
That God saw our need and He acted on it.
that He needed to save us.
Let us remember that the need in the Christmas transaction is only in our part, not God’s.
God did not need to save us - He WANTED to save us - He is self-sufficient..
God did not send Jesus for a mopping up operation, to clean up His mess.
No matter what the deal is, God’s ways are always perfect.
We say that God loved us in sending Jesus but the reality is that God’s very nature is LOVE.
There was a pre-existent Divine Bond of Love between Father and Son.
Dissect the word “sacrifice”.
If God’s nature is love, is it really a sacrifice for Jesus to die on the cross.
He acted in obedience (Attitude)
He acted on His own (Humbled)
He did not need validation (that He needs to save us in order to complete His significance) - He existed before everything else - before He was born of Mary.
(Existed)
Christ’s significance is not the cross (Form/Equality)
Christ’s significance is not the cross (Form/Equality)
Jesus sacrifice did not only begin on the cross, it began when He gave up His place in glory.
(Emptied)
Our response, Paul’s admonition to have this attitude
