About commitment anew …

John 15:9 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. (NIV)

God sent Christ into the world as a human baby to live among us. In sending Christ to us in human form, God wanted to attract us to Himself so we would accept Christ as Savior and Lord. The Christ-child melts down the human heart. The darkness of the world cannot forever stand against the innocence of the new born babe. Hearts melt and souls rejoice when we hold the baby Jesus. Our faith is emboldened; our life is touched and changed forever when we take the tiny Christ-child into our heart and life. God continually calls us to embrace His Son. Christ calls us each day to come to the cross and renew our faith and belief. The love shared at Christmas is God's way of saying to us "I love you." Even in the darkness of our times, the light of a little baby born two thousand years ago still shines throughout the world. On this day let us commit our life anew to Christ.
