A Christmas Message: Jesus Came To Invite Us Home
Jesus invites us to return home, just as God orchestrated the first divine union in the Garden of Eden. This first "Royal Wedding" symbolizes God's profound desire for connection and intimacy with humanity.
The Divine Design of Relationship
In Genesis, God recognized that "it is not good for man to be alone". He carefully created Eve as a companion for Adam, demonstrating His intentional design for relationship. This first wedding wasn't just a ceremony, but a sacred covenant establishing human connection.
Christ's Redemptive Love
Interestingly, Jesus' ministry began at a wedding, symbolically reinforcing God's love for human connection. By leaving His heavenly kingdom and becoming human, Christ demonstrated His ultimate invitation to restore our relationship with God.
The Eternal Invitation
Christ's love transcends our brokenness. He doesn't force relationship but lovingly invites us home. Through His sacrifice, He offers restoration, healing, and an eternal connection - a spiritual "wedding" where humanity is reunited with divine love.
This Christmas, remember: You are invited home.
