Above All

 

     Jesus fulfills our needs as we journey through our lives. He saves us for eternity with His sacrificial love. What does He ask of us? Jesus commands us to love one another. He sums up all of the commandments in this way:

Above all else, guard your hearts, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8

The message you heard from the very beginning is this, we must love one another. 1 John 3:11

Do all your work in love. 1 Corinthians 16:14

     Jesus teaches us how to love, how to look deeper, how to forgive, how to have patience, how to be gentle and kind. After all, He first taught us.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the  comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Father,

You teach us comfort and compassion and love through, Your Son Jesus. Show us the way as we comfort those around us. Above all, let us love.

In Jesus name,

Amen
