Reason for the Season
December 13, 2023
As we celebrate this beautiful Christmas season, we must not forget the reason for it. Recently, in the middle of the night, the Holy Spirit gave me the phrase “Because I Love You.” I sat up and asked Him what he wants me to do with this… the next morning this is what came out. I wanted to share it with you.
Because I Love You
As I created Adam and Eve to be in relationship with, I was thinking of you at the same time, because I love you.
4000 years ago I spoke to 6 of my handpicked believers to proclaim not only my coming to the earth, but specific details about my arrival, so there wouldn’t be room for doubt about who I am, because I love you.
The detailed prophetic words spoken about my arrival to earth, were miraculously accurate. I wanted you to have miraculous written account that your eyes could see, because I love you.
I showed my love and compassion for mankind by causing the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and the sick to be healed, because I love you.
I obeyed my father and descended from heaven, even though I knew about the persecution I was going to face, because I love you
For 3 years, I poured out my heart, sharing not a list of dos and don’ts, but how to live life so that you can have peace, joy and an abundant life, because I love you
I took punches in the face, slaps to the face, I was spit on; mocked and ridiculed. I was completely humiliated, but I did it for you, because I love you
I accepted being stripped, tied down and whipped at the whipping post. While each stroke of the multi-stranded leather strap that had J-shaped hooks, ripped flesh from my body, I kept thinking, by my wounds on my back, healing was provided for you, because I love you
I was thinking of you, every time the mallet came down driving spikes into my hands and feet, because I love you
I hung on that cross, knowing that by doing this I am paying for every sin you have committed and will commit, because I love you
At any time, I could have called on a legion of angels to destroy my persecutors, but I didn’t. I chose to do this for you. I died on that cross for you, hoping you will love me for what I did specifically for you, because I love you.
