Love

Ever think of the word "unconditional"?   How about the word "supernatural"?  As we live our lives as Christian men and women, we experience the unconditional, supernatural love of Christ.  Remember in John 18:22  where they "punched Jesus in the face" and when He hung on the cross without putting up a fight.  You know its been said "He could have called ten thousand angels, but He died alone for you and me"!

That's unconditional!  That's supernatural!  That's the kind of love that only God could provide for us.  And we as Christians experience that unconditional, supernatural love in our everyday lives as we walk with the Lord.  And we are taught that we need to express that same quality of love (agape) in meaningful ways to family, friends and acquaintances, believers and nonbelievers alike.  That's tough, I know.  Some of us can't even get along with our own families let alone extending that love toward others.  But this is the "Love" that Jesus Christ, our Lord and Master, has taught us through His word and His commands.

Luke 10:27 says, "...You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."  Boy, that's a tough one, huh?  Here's a few other verses to review:  Eph. 5:12; Phil. 1:9-11; 1 Tim. 1:5; 1 Pet. 4:8.

"Love is a many splendid thing"...and so much more.
