In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 John 4:9-10

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

Galatians 4:4-5

The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:9-14

Jake and Abby Weekend

Last weekend our friends Jake and Abby came to visit. They both live in Murfreesboro, TN and are good friends we know from college and the ministry Young Life that Laura and I were apart of. We got a chance to catch up with them and spent a fun-filled day in the city. Thanks Jake and Abby for buying plane tickets to come and see us. If anyone is in the Central New Jersey area any time soon we have a place for you to stay.
