The Love of God the Father
The Christmas season is not just about the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only redeemer and savior, but it was the Father that gave up His son to be born of women. “For god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son…” (John 3:16). The first commandment is “…and thou shalt love the Lord, thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength. This is the first commandment.” (Mark 12:30a)
