“We love him, because he first loved us.”

Reflection

Love is not a human invention, but a divine overflowing. Before we could even whisper His name, the Word became flesh to seek us out. Christ, the risen Son of God, descended into the depths of our brokenness to trample down death by death, shattering the gates of Hades to lead us home. Salvation is not a legal transaction, but a profound healing—a restoration of the image of God within us. He offers His very life so that we might become by grace what He is by nature. Yet, this communion requires our "yes." As we cooperate with His uncreated energy, our hearts are purified and knit to His. We do not love to earn His favor; we love because His light has already dawned upon us. Turn toward Christ today and let His life become your own.
