LOVE SHOWN IS GREATER THAN LOVE SPOKEN
Yes, love demonstrated is greater than love spoken. Yet, God has done both through Christ Jesus. He is the Logos, the greatest and fullest communication of God and God’s love to us. He is love in the flesh. He is Love come down from heaven to become one of us, so that He might die for us. He did all of this not because we were deserving of love, but because He is love. God’s character of love intersected His character of holiness in Christ at the cross making a way for us to know and love Him in return (1 John 4:19).
PRAYER: Father, thank You for the love You have shown towards us in Jesus. And for the ongoing love You show through Your provision and the giving of Your Holy Spirit. Help us to be conduits of Your love to others in this world as we serve in love and give out the gospel in love. In Jesus’ name, amen.
