The reason these verses in 1 Corinthians 13 strike such a chord in our hearts is because love has been made known. The reverberating effects of love – expressed most powerfully through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ - wash like wave after wave after wave upon the shores of our lives. A love that is so, so desperately needed. In a fickle world, where love can so easily be distorted or devalued, his is the love that never fails. There is absolutely no way, in which the love of Christ has, or ever will, fail us. In any way. God is the author of love and therefore He is the one who gets to describe how it is to be displayed.
