Matthew 1:18-25
On the last Sunday of Advent, Chuck reflects on the concept of love and its cost, inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s idea of "costly grace." He recalls personal stories of love’s challenges, such as a couple facing the loss of a child and an older couple navigating life together. Chuck explores Mary and Joseph’s journey, emphasizing that love requires sacrifice. He connects this theme to Jesus, who came to save people from their sins, despite the cost of his own life. Ultimately, Chuck reminds us that love costs everything but is worth every sacrifice.
