This is how we know what love is...



Jesus is love. And NOT the kind of love that evokes the image of Jesus with product in his hair.


His love was dangerous and cost much. Making enemies with the religious and the proud, befriending the lowly. Taking the position of a servant... for all of us.

Isaiah 61:1-2
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound

1 John 3:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
