All of us have heard love thrown around in many different ways. Whether it be to a significant other, about a sports team or just anything in general. Most of us use the word love in our everyday lives. But what is love really? It isn’t about the things we own, the people we talk to or anything that we care for in fact. Love is about one man who sacrificed his life for us so that we may be freed from sin. He was put on this Earth to save us from ourselves. We all have this “love” inside of us but not many people really grasp the actual meaning of it. We are all compelled by this love. Love’s definition is Jesus.
His love for us is greater than ANY love we can imagine. No matter where we are in our lives he will always love us. If we are broken and falling from God, he will love us. If we let our fears and failures take over our lives, he will love us. If we don’t know Jesus or haven't accepted him into our lives, he will love us. His love never fails and it will endure forever. So the next time you use the word “love” think of what it truly means to love. Love’s definition is Jesus Christ our savior.
For this week I will leave you with this: Ephesians 2.4-5, “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”
Hard to argue.
ReplyDeleteBut something is missing. What is it? Maybe the support (testimony or scripture - testimony might be better), maybe stories...I don't know. But you should play around with some of that...just to add some depth to the discussion.
Just saying...
