day 26: Mark 12:28-31: John 14:15-16; 15:10-13: 1 John 4:21; 5:3 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
I repeat his commandments are not grievous. The greatest love letter I have ever been blessed to see, from the author and finisher of my faith.
Let true love win please, God did for us for Jesus's sake concerning us all, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, not to condemn the world but that the world through him may be saved.
Let love win where ever you are.
A treasure worth finding......
Amen.
