my true love sent to me
a partridge in the pear tree"
Who is "my true love" ?
In this modern day, "true love" is rare
It is hard to define "true love"
The people whom we look up
as the embodiment of true love often disappoint us
The people who (seemed to) have found the true love of their life end up in divorce.
What and who is the true love?
There is one divine person who is worthy to be called " the true love"
His name is Jesus Christ. He left Heaven and came to this corrupt world to save us. He died to redeem us from our sin. He won over death, rose again to life so we can have eternal life with Him. Who are we that we deserve to be called His beloved ?
Roma 5: 7-8
It is rare indeed for anyone to die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God proves His love for us in this : While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Now, let's see the first present from our "true love"
a partridge in the pear tree. Partridge is a bird which symbolizes deceit, theft and satan. The pear tree symbolizes the cross.
Galatians 3:13 says
Chris redeems us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written : "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree"
That is the greatest gift of all from our Lord Jesus. The partridge in the pear tree. His death at the cross for us.
Have you opened the first gift from God ?
I have, and it was the grandest gift I ever received in my whole entire life.
My salvation.
