RED – The Color of Sacrifice and Love

Our HOPE Is In God’s Promise

Focus: We see the fullness of God’s love in both the incarnation of Christ in the manger as well as in the ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Both lead us to consider the purpose of His coming as a man.

Application: We are to consider how Christ's birth is inseparable from His death. This love He demonstrated should transform how we live and love others in both the incarnation of Christ in the manger as well as in the ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Both lead us to consider the purpose of His coming.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

⁹ In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
