Verse Text: Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited; does not act improperly; is not selfish; is not provoked; does not keep a record of wrongs;   finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth;   bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. The Bible gives us multiple pictures of the great love that God has for us—love that is unmerited and requires us to love one another. The very act of loving one another is an expression of worship, and today we will look at just what love is and what we can expect love to do. If you have been in church very long (or have been to many weddings), you have undoubtedly read this wonderful passage about love from 1 Corinthians 13.  The description is clear, and the attributes of love are so admirable. Of course, love is like faith—we can believe in love, have love, be loved, and understand love, but without corresponding action, our love is mostly dead. One of my favorite movies is “The Princess Bride.” In this wonderful film, a privileged young lady named Buttercup encounters Westley (aka Farmboy) in the stable. The chemistry between the two is immediate, and ultimately she discovers that Westley is her “one, true love.” As the evil Prince, who wants Buttercup for his bride, attempts to kill Westley, the story unfolds. At one point, the Prince captures and tortures Westley; and frankly, he looks pretty dead to me. His compatriot, a giant named Fezzik, drags Westley’s body to Miracle Max (played by Billy Crystal) for a miracle—of course! Fezzik places Westley’s body very carefully on the table. Then Miracle Max picks up Westley’s limp arm and drops it with a loud and immediate thud. Max shouts, “He’s dead! Why are you bothering me!” But when pressed to look again, with the promise of money for his efforts, the miracle man declares, “He’s not completely dead; he’s just mostly dead.” Sometimes that phrase describes the love we express as the body of Christ. Often after being pursued by God, we figure it out and accept Jesus, our one true love. But the love that flows from us to others is, well, mostly dead. And that is understandable. After all, people can be pretty mean sometimes, and many of us seem to have issues from childhood, and … shall I go on? In our hearts, we want to show the love of Christ to everyone, but we have limitations that seem to bind us against our will. As we allow God’s love for us to flow through us without hesitation and limitation, we are responding to God’s revelation of who He is and what He has done. Love is a Person whose name is Jesus.  Love Himself compels us to worship. Let us put our response of love into action toward God and one another!
