Through advent, there will be excerpts from Sinclair Ferguson’s book, LOVE CAME DOWN AT CHRISTMAS. Take time to ponder and reflect the wonder of His love.
“The Christian faith has a grammar all of its own. If we mess up the grammar of a language, we will not be able to speak it properly. In the grammar of the Christian faith, what we are called to be and do, is rooted in who God is and what He has done for us in Christ. (Emphasis mine) So the resources we need to love others are found in the love of Jesus Christ for us. That is why, when we read Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 13, we need to keep our ears open for echo’s of Jesus’ life and look for his shadow following on every line.”
