Love & advent
Why do you think love is an advent theme?
What does Christmas have to do with love?
Christ’s humiliation, in his life and death, is all about love!
The reason he came to earth as a baby was love for us!
What is love?
We use love pretty haphazardly.
We could say “I love pizza” and “I love my mother.”
It’s the same word, but obviously it means different things.
How would you define love?
Love is usually talked about as a feeling, whether we have it for pizza or people.
But biblical love—which is “true love”—is a verb not a noun.
Love is goodness with an object.
It is when you look at your friend or family member and all you want for them is good.
How did God show his love for us?
Greatest commandment
What is it?
Love is central to Christianity:
Read:
1 john 4:7-21
Jesus loved us by coming to the world, humbling himself even though he is God himself.
He loved the people around him perfectly, even those who killed him.
And he showed ultimate love for humanity by dying on the cross for our sin.
Because God loved us in this way, we are to love God and love everyone else.
We show God love first and foremost by loving the people around us.
Humans are made in the image of God, which means all humans deserve love and respect.
It also means that we love God by loving humans who bear his image.
And we will be perfect images of God when we perfectly love God and His creation—which will not happen in this life.
