2. Love Matters Most
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:36-39
Love Matters Most Because…
I. Love _Validates My Faith_
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. I John 4:8
If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. I John 4:20
II. Love __Integrates My Life__
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:14
III. Love __Compensates For My Sin__
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. I Peter 4:8
IV. . Love __Reverberates Forever__
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
I Corinthians 13:3
Key Concept: Love _is expressed in time_
Live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:2
I have a son whose five years old,
A boy so very fine.
When I look at him, it seems to me
That all the world is mine.
But seldom do I ever see
My son awake and bright.
I only see him when he sleeps.
I’m only home at night.
When I come home so weary
In the darkness after day,
My wife then says to me,
“You should have seen him play.”
So I stand beside his bed,
And I look and I ponder there,
And I wonder if he’s dreaming,
“Why isn’t daddy here?”
