The Love of Christ
I read today in John MacArthur’s Commentary on Ephesian…”The world cannot comprehend the great love that Christ gives because it cannot understand Christ. Worldly love is based on attraction and therefore lasts only as long as the attraction. Christ’s love is based on His own nature and therefore lasts forever. Worldly love lasts until it is offended or rebuffed. Christ’s love lasts despite every offense and every rebuff. Worldly love loves for what it can get. Christ’s love loves for what it can give. What is incomprehensible to the world is to be normal living for the child of God.”
This is so true. I pray that God will put within me this kind of love for my wife, family and friends… This is a great representation of godly love.
