The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jer 31:3

I pray that you had a wonderful worship with your local church on the Lord’s Day. There is a growing sense of anticipation among God’s people to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child, the Savior of the world at Christmas. Houses of worship fill with joyful songs of praise celebrate the Christ Child. Luminaries and greenery fill the halls and windows as message to the world that the Eternal Light of the world has come to save His people from their sin. The scenes of the nativity demonstrate how “God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son” (Jn 3:16) to be born “the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” (Jn 1:29). Christmas is the delivery of God’s message of love to the world. The scripture passage reminds us that God’s message to world is “I have loved thee with an everlasting love.” Everlasting love has no beginning nor has it any end. Everlasting love never fails (1 Cor 13:8) nor forsakes (Heb 13:5). Everlasting love is always faithful. God’s everlasting love existed before the foundation of the world and by His love He created man in His image and gave him dominion over all creations on the earth (Gen 1:28). God’s everlasting love is no more evident than in His Son Jesus. He is “Emmanuel…God with us” (Mt 1:23). God in His everlasting love step out of heaven’s glory to be born in a lowly manger cover in darkness to draw all men to Himself “with lovingkindness.” God, by His everlasting love and lovingkindness desires that none should perish but have everlasting life (Jn 3:16). The birth of the Christ Child is God’s everlasting love to the world that all who believe on Him might have everlasting life. Dear friend, the lonely star of Bethlehem showed the way to the Christ Child. Jesus is the light of the world that shows us the way to the Father, that all may know “with lovingkindness have I have drawn thee.” Father thank You for Your everlasting love and Your lovingkindness through Your Son Jesus. In the blessed Name of Jesus. Amen.
