The love in Christ's birth has dawned on us in these days of Christmas, and we must behold this love of Christ's from His birth on, in His whole struggle until His death on the cross. Thus God gave up His Son, and Jesus has told us that we should not seek to preserve our life if we wish to follow His words. Love is the secret of Christmas. Love is the secret of Good Friday and love is the secret of Easter time.
Love is the secret of the Pentecost revelation.
Love is God's nature. Love is the power of His Holy Spirit. Love is everything, everything that is truthful and that really exists. So let us pray to God for this love that was shown to us in Christ, in these days as well. Let us ask Him that we may endure to the end in the purity and clarity of this love.
