Advent Love — Key Notes (Luke 19:1–10)
Big Idea
Advent love is not something we earn — it is Jesus who comes looking for us.
Advent
- Advent = Arrival
- Jesus came, is with us, and will come again
- Today’s theme: Love
What Love Really Is (1 John 4:9–10)
- Love begins with God, not us
- Jesus is love made visible
- Christmas = Love entering our broken world
Advent Love in Action: Zacchaeus
1. Love Sees First
- Jesus notices the overlooked
- Calls Zacchaeus by name
- Grace comes before repentance
2. Love Comes Close
- Jesus enters Zacchaeus’ home
- No conditions, no cleanup required
- Presence over pressure
3. Love Transforms

- Identity restored
- Changed heart → changed life
Core Truth
Jesus came to seek and save the lost.
Love initiates. Love enters. Love changes.
