RE Verse reading–Colossians 3:12-14, Hebrews 13:1-8, 14-16 (day seven) “Let love continue. . .do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God” (13:1, 16) It is like an email that says “send this to someone else, don’t let it stop with you” Like that, only better. Every Christian generation has a choice– to spend the love of God or to give it away. If we turn selfish, if we don’t love each other passionately and practically, if we forget that love is the Lord’s highest expectation, if we talk about it but don’t do it, we lose the powerful evidence that love gives to the unbelieving world. More neglect than anything. We fail because we forget. “By this will all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35) Gathering for worship today, may this be our highest goal–that love will continue and that God will be pleased.
