Advent Devotion Day 1: The Father's Love

Before time began, there was perfect unity between Father and Son. Then came the first Christmas—when God said goodbye to send His Son to earth. This wasn't a casual sending; it was the ultimate sacrifice of love. Every parent knows the weight of letting a child go into an uncertain world, but God's sending of Jesus was infinitely more costly. He sent His Son knowing exactly what awaited Him—rejection, suffering, death. Yet love compelled Him forward. Today, pause and consider: the Father didn't send Jesus because we deserved it, but because He loved us that much. You are the reason God couldn't keep His Son in heaven. Let that truth reshape how you see yourself today.
