More on Love…

16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them,how can the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear children,let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

I love ice cream; I love the Rams; I love my Mom. It sure can be confusing when we talk about LOVE.  What does it mean?  Do I love ice cream in the same way I love my Mom.  “NO WAY!”

So, how I feel about ice cream is really different than how I feel about my Mom.  Jesus sets the example for what real love is in 1 John 3:16.  It is sacrificial!  I love my Mom… my family in a way that is more than words.  With my actions I provide for my family, I hug them, I am there for them, and I will do whatever I can, whatever it takes to provide for them.

Lets show the love of Christ… Jesus set the example!  “…Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.”
