BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
MESSAGE:
According to the Bible, love sums up all the commandments of God (Matthew 22:36-40). Today’s Bible reading makes us understand that no spiritual activity can equate to love. The essence of Christianity is the love of God, demonstrated by giving up His Son for our redemption. Hence, showing love to others is a true reflection of our union with God.
In many passages of the Bible, the importance of love as the greatest Christian virtue is emphasised. Love is the golden scale by which the gifts of the Spirit are measured. Without love, a fellow’s gifts of healing. performing miracles, interpreting tongues, giving, faith, et cetera, have no basis in God.
My dear child, if you have the love of God in your heart, you will willingly obey His commandments. Also, everything you do for others will be based on your love for them, not because you’re obliged to do those things. Furthermore, when you love someone, you won’t speak ill of him or her to others. Ultimately, love will bring you peace with all men and women, and the God of love and peace will always be with you.
KEY POINT:
Love is the most important virtue that a Christian can exhibit.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Deuteronomy 2-4
HYMN 70 – God Sent His Son, They Called Him Jesus
1 God sent His son,
They called Him, Jesus;
He came to love,
Heal and forgive;
He lived and died
To buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there
To prove my Savior lives!
Chorus
Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow!
Because He lives,
All fear is gone.
Because I know
He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

2 How sweet to hold
A newborn baby,
And feel the pride
And joy he brings;
But greater still
The calm assurance:
This child can face
Uncertain days because He Lives!
3 And then one day,
I’ll cross the river,
I’ll fight life’s final
War with pain;
And then, as death
Gives way to victory,
I’ll see the lights of glory
And I’ll know He lives!
