When I think of love and of Christmas I am tempted to say, “If you want your Christmas to be meaningful, then let’s enter into loving relationships,” but that would be incomplete. Loving people doesn’t just make Christmas meaningful. It makes life meaningful – even rewarding. However, in order to love as you’re wired to love, you have to enter into a loving relationship with God. You do that through Jesus.

The Bible says that Jesus is the way to God. That’s not politically correct. But the Bible indicates that it’s true. Jesus calls himself the gate. He says he is “the way, the truth, and the life.” Peter says there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. You can know God’s love by receiving Christ as your Savior. Then you can begin to love others from the overflow of Jesus’ love.

The audio below teaches us about different kinds of love and explains how to show the love we should, not just at Christmas, but all-year-round.
