It's wedding season and this weekend I get to attend the wedding of a dear couple from our River community! Weddings bring out all the "feels" for me. The beautiful couple standing up in front, surrounded by people they love, dreaming about a life full of love and happiness.
This Sunday we are going to look at I Corinthians 13, traditionally known as the LOVE chapter, often read at weddings describing perfect love. Love is kind, patient, does not boast, love does not envy, etc.
Paul describes love and how it involves all of us. It's way beyond just a wedding. He says if we don't have love for one another, we have nothing. What does he mean? How hard can it be to love one another? He defines love and the necessity for it to be the foundation for everything else to flourish. It means everything.
Loving each other doesn't always bring "the feels" and sometimes can be very challenging. How do we do it? What happens when we don't "feel" like loving one another? Jesus is our example.
