How To Experience Unconditional Love | The Gift of Advent Part 4
About This Message
Speaker: David Reneau
Summary:
We’ve all asked the question at some point: How could God truly love me after everything I’ve done? In this final message of our "Gift of Advent" series, we look past the romanticized version of the Christmas story to see the gritty, beautiful reality of the Manger. We explore the profound truth of the "Logos"—the infinite God who became finite human flesh just to be with us.
By looking at the ancient prophecies of Isaiah 53 alongside the story of Jesus’ birth, we discover that God didn’t come to punish us for going our own way; He came to take that punishment for us. Whether you feel unworthy, overwhelmed, or just tired of trying to earn your way to God, this message is for you.
The greatest gift of Christmas isn't found under a tree; it’s found in a sacrificial love that considers you worth it, no matter your past.
In this message, we discuss:
The real-life conditions of the first Christmas.
Why Jesus is called the "Logos" (The Word).
How Isaiah 53 predicted the sacrifice of Jesus 700 years before His birth.
Three practical ways to respond to God’s love today.
