Love without condition
John 13:34-35
1. Embrace love’s priority
Love never fails to:
-Conquer selfishness
-Conquer the status quo
-Conquer sentencing judgments
2. Emulate love’s example
3. Escape love’s substitutes
4 reasons love is hard:
1. Love is inefficient-
2. Love is invasive-
3. Love is insane-
4. Love is expensive-
4. Extend love’s impact
Conclusion: "Love is the greatest thing- God the Father says so, Jesus the Son models it, the Holy Spirit is prompting us toward it. Love is the greatest thing. The greatest force. It transforms the heart of everyone it touches. Love softens anger, love silences criticism and gossip, love blesses and beautifies and builds up every person in its path. Love is the greatest. Love reaches across the chasm of hurt and misunderstanding. Love brings healing and forgiveness and hope to the weary. Love keeps giving even when no one notices or thanks. Love keeps going even when the end is not in sight. Love keeps growing in the heart of everyone who believes God’s way is best. God’s way is the way of love. Love is the greatest and we never do anything so Godlike and great as when we choose to love."
