Love Is a Person

 

 

Christmas is that time

We talk a lot about love,

For Christians, mostly about him

Who came from above.

 

For most people

It is about an emotion

While others for many others,

It’s just a notion.

 

There are many songs

About the notion of love,

This kind can be switch on and off

With a touch or rub.

 

Very physical, in fact,

With a bit of the emotional,

Bringing a feeling unlike before-

Almost laughable.

 

But the most profitable

Is love, the person,

Namely, the love of Almighty God

In the incarnation.

 

 

 

The Son of a loving Father

Expressed sacrificially

On the cross of Mount Calvary

For you and me.

 

 

 

Love came down to earth

On Christmas morn

When in the form of a tiny babe

Jesus was born.

 

 

 

Born of a virgin maiden

And under Jewish Law,

He was the Lamb without spot:

That is, without a flaw.

 

 

The epitome of love

In fact, the very essence,

Jesus embodied the purest love

Ever in existence.

 

It was an eternal love

That paid sin’s debt

And all who accepted this love

Have no regret.

 

The love of all loves:

Agape is its name,

Greater than familial or erotic love

It eternally reigns.

 

 

 

This love, so amazing,

Such love thus, Divine,

Is none other than Jesus Christ

To whom I resign.

 

Thank you, dear Jesus,

For coming from above

And for filling this Christmas

With agape love.
