S8E60: Resurrection Love (Living the Resurrection pt. 6)
Manage episode 415030892 series 2377772
Sermon #443
The Greek word "agape" describes a higher form of love. It is a love that is completely selfless and giving, expecting nothing in return, and it is the kind of love that God shows to us in Jesus Christ. Since agape is a Godly form of love, it stands to reason that the world at large does not and cannot conceptualize this kind of love. Homer used the word only ten times in his writings; Euripides only thrice. Yet the word "agape" appears in the New Testament 320 times, and 27 times it appears in this short passage from John's letter. It seems important to the apostles and to Jesus, and so agape ought to be important to contemporary followers of Christ as well.
1 John 4:7-21
