As we wrap up this series, I want to talk about the last gift I want for Christmas, which is a real love, not an “I love you now but tomorrow is negotiable,” kind of love. Not an “I love you as long as things go my way but when they don't...” kind of love. Certainly not the Hollywood kind of love that really is more lust than love. I want you to see today that real love comes from above. I want to use this message as a way to show us what real love is all about. If you think you really are a really loving person - a loving husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, or friend - get ready for a love checkup. Let’s see how your love measures up to the real love that comes from above.
As we dive into this Christmas series, I am going to give you my Christmas list and I guarantee you it is going to surprise you. But I believe that after this series is over, you might agree with me that this ought to be on everyone’s Christmas list. In fact, if every person on this planet made this their Christmas list and God gave them what they asked for our world would never be the same. You see, these three gifts that are on my list, money can’t buy, and yes they will always satisfy everybody who receives them. You will never want to take them back or exchange them for anything else. They last forever – won’t gather dust, never go out of style, never outgrow them and you will be forever thankful that you have them.
