Wow. Christmas Eve already and also the Fourth Sunday of Advent.
When I wrote about peace on the Second Sunday of Advent, I mentioned that we could use a bit of peace just among ourselves. 200 denominations in the US alone! How do we get to this peace? Maybe we start with love?
Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. (John 13.34, MSG)
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. (Revelation 2.4, NIV)
The fruit of the Spirit is love… (Galatians 5.22)
Amen!! But so hard when our sin natures get in the way!!
