Cultural Identifier - Part 1

In this powerful exploration of love as the cornerstone of our faith, we delve into Colossians 2:1-4 and 1 Corinthians 13. We're reminded that love isn't just an emotion, but a command from Jesus and a model set by the Father. This sacrificial love, epitomized by Christ's own actions, is meant to knit us together as believers. We're challenged to reflect on how we love one another within the church, recognizing that this love is our primary identifier to the world. The message draws a striking parallel between the disciples' confusion when Jesus commanded them to love even in the face of betrayal, and our own struggles to love unconditionally. As we contemplate this, we're invited to move beyond an academic understanding of faith to a deeply personal, transformative relationship with Jesus. This journey of love is ongoing, requiring us to continually surrender our will to the Holy Spirit's guidance.
