Monday, February 7 Behold, What Love! And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. 1 John 4:16a (NIV) In a scene in a popular movie, Johnny Depp played a character who lectured his friend about the important things in life. "There are only four questions," he said. "What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for?" Then he said softly, "The answer to each is the same: only love." That's true, though not as Hollywood thinks. To the world, love is a shallow sentiment. To the Christian, it's a divine reality. God is love, and He demonstrated His love at Calvary. This love is sacred; it's from Him. It prompted Him to form our spirits and make us in His image. It gives meaning to our lives and calls us to give ourselves for others. The language God used to share His love for us is found in His Word, in His actions at the cross, and in His plan for our eternal future. Behold what love is lavished on us! It's a love we can both know and rely on today. Read-Thru-the-Bible Leviticus 25:1-26:46 |
