For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (Joh 3:16 KJVLite). There is no greater demonstration of love than this love: Jesus giving His life for the whole world. What can we do? Jesus said: I’m giving you a new commandment…to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another (Joh 13:34 KJVLite).

We further learn in 1Corinthians 13 about love: “If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing. Even if I give away everything that I have and sacrifice myself, but have no love, I gain nothing” (1Cor 13:2-3 ISV). Without love we are nothing and gain nothing. It takes the love of God operating in and through us to make the difference the world needs.

To be of value in the world we must show the love of Christ to the world and we can do this when we tell the world about the love of Jesus: when we tell the children, the orphan, the widow and the stranger and tell our neighbour.
I pray in Jesus’ name, may “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2Cor 13:11 KJVLite).
