Re:Verse passage – 1 Peter 4:1-11 (day five)“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another”
What does love look like? Let me ask a more specific question…. What does Christian love look like? Pastor Peter gives us a few snapshots in our Re:verse passage. First, Christian love shapes how we think and act towards others- looking for the best in others and standing ready to forgive others. This doesn’t mean we ignore sin or that we don’t take it seriously. It means we always seek to find grace as we interact with each other.
Second, Christian love prompts us to welcome others- into our hearts and even our homes.
One last picture from Peter- Christian love serves others as the voice and hands of the Lord. Words are extremely important in God’s economy. Oh, that we might use them as He intends. In addition, God’s strength and attention are on display as we serve others.
The call to love others is an opportunity to resemble Christ most and best.
