Love Came Down at Christmas: Daily Readings for Advent
Love is at the heart of Christmas.
It's the reason behind all our gathering and gift-giving at this time of year. In this Advent devotional, Dr Sinclair B Ferguson refreshes our hearts as we reflect on the source it all – love incarnate, Jesus Christ.
Over the course of December, this devotional walks through 1 Corinthians 13 phrase-by-phrase, showing us that "love is" the Lord Jesus himself.
Sinclair Ferguson brings the rich theology of the incarnation to life with his trademark warmth and clarity. Drawing on stories from the Gospels, we'll see what "love" looked like in the life of Christ, and be challenged us to love like him during the Christmas season. Each day's reading finishes with carols and hymns for reflection and prayer.
However you're feeling weary or frantic, lonely or love sick, your heart will be refreshed as you wonder again at the truth that love came down at Christmas in the person of Jesus Christ.

“Once again Sinclair Ferguson gives us a practical, helpful resource, putting the first coming of Jesus in the context of 1st Corinthians 13. Gods love in His greatest gift is unpacked for us in juicy bite-sized nuggets. The weaving of Gods word & the great advent & Christmas hymns is a delight. A wonderful book to offer to your friends in the run up to Christmas.”

“Amid all the glitter, goo and glow of Christmas, let Love Came Down at Christmas warm your heart with the wonder of Gods saving purposes. Sinclair Fergusons insightful simplicity will refresh you in the ancient Christmas story, and help you stoke the fire of devotion for God, which should characterize all our Christmas celebrations.”
Revd Dr Simon Vibert
Vicar of Christ Church, Virginia Water, UK
“If we think we have all our theology right but have not love, we have none of our theology right. If we think we know everything there is to know about God but do not have the love of God in our hearts, we do not know God at all. I am grateful for this book about love, as it so beautifully shows forth the redeeming love of our triune God demonstrated in the incarnation of Christ, and as it so gently directs us along the path of showing true love to our neighbor and to our sovereign and gracious Lord.”
Burk Parsons
Senior Pastor of Saint Andrews Chapel; Editor of Tabletalk magazine
“Church history will remember Dr. Ferguson as one of this generation's most insightful theological writers and biblical preachers. When you read or listen to him, you know he cares for you. And this book illumines his ability to lovingly communicate the grand themes of Gods love-filled redemptive purpose.”
Chris Larson
President and CEO of Ligonier Ministries
“With Love Came Down at Christmas, Sinclair Ferguson has written yet another book to bless and build up God's people. So read it! Only the gospel of Jesus pierces our faulty understanding of love with the real, convicting and winsome love of God. This devotional will warm your affections for Christ and remind you of your identity in him as a lover of God and a lover of others. Gently convicting and richly God-glorifying, this Christmas devotional is a gospel-saturated delight! Read it and celebrate the living and liberating love of God for his world.”

CEO, Acts29
