The Message paraphrases John 1:14 as saying Jesus moved into the neighborhood.
Moved.
That’s what love does, it moves us. It moves us to care about people and places. It moves us to see the world from a different perspective than before. It moves us into neighborhoods we didn’t even know exists.
Love also moves us away from people and places and causes.
Love is not a straight line. Love is not always rational. Love does not guarantee an outcome.
Love, however, promises we will be moved.
At The Grove this week, we’re going to celebrate by sharing pictures of our Christmases all over the world! This week share your Christmas love on Instagram and use #VelvetAshesChristmas (Check out ALL the great pictures from last year!). Your image will appear at the Grove as we celebrate Love’s greatest gift from all corners of the globe.
