Second Sermon

Sunday, July 6, 2008 was Chris’s second sermon. It was a beautiful message that spoke to many. It spoke to me for sure. It was about love.
How many of us truly love one another as Christ instructs us. He gave His life for a bunch of sinners. Are we willing to give our lives for one another? If so, that is true love.
Some of my favorite verses in the Bible are on love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable and keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures every circumstance.” (NLT)
I know for a fact just based on those verses that I have not loved the way I am supposed to. Thankfully, I have a Savior who has forgiven me. Now I just have to change my ways and become more Christ like.
John 13:34-35 says “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” (NLT)
Look around in your life and ask yourself if you love everyone as Christ does.
