We learn about our faith through Jesus, but the real goal is to understand and feel the love of the Father. Last week, we talked about the adventure that God gives us in our faith journey. He is leading us somewhere amazing, and when our Heavenly Dad is with us, the adventure is just beetter. This week, we will focus on changing our perspective on Jesus and what he came to do. He is the savior of our sins, yes. He was a teacher that reoriented us to a new and life-giving way of living, yes. He was a role model for how to love the unloveable, yes. But, Jesus isn't just a role model for life, and he's not "just" any of those other things; he's here to reveal the Father, always following the Father's lead, and connecting us to a loving relationship with Him. Jesus is the gift of Christmas, but a good gift always brings us into closer relationship with the giver.
