1 Corinthians 13
"Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, It does not boast, It is not proud. It is not rude, It is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
"Love never fails..."
Now, replace the word "love" with your "name".
That's how we are supposed to be. We are definately not like that. But it's okay, because someone took our place.
Read 1 Corinthians 13 one more time... but this time replace the word love with Jesus...
Jesus is patient
Jesus is kind.
He does not envy,
He does not boast,
He is not proud.
He is not rude,
He is not self-seeking,
He is not easily angered,
He keeps no record of wrongs.
Jesus does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
He always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Jesus never fails...

The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37
25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “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.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
- The question isn't who will be your neighbor, but who will you neighbor to.
What is love?
Love is defined by sacrificial action.
It starts by recognizing that you're loved -by God- and then it becomes easier to love.
Jesus calls us to love others...by loving others we are loving Jesus.
Live to reach out to others
Love is expressed when someone needs it not when you feel like giving it.
You cannot live with out love,
the only place that you can't love
is in Hell.
Live open hearted, even knowing it will cause pain.
"To love at all is to be vulnerable"
