Theme: Love: A More Excellent Way

We continue our study of Love- The Most Excellent Way. This time, we take a look at another thing Love is not and does not – does not dishonour others and not easily provoked. See attached outline for your reference.

Key Learning Points:

1.      Since love is seeking the good of the other person, rudeness, at its core, emanates from a lack of love for other people. And reveals an attitude which says ‘I couldn’t care less about you’

2.       Dishonouring another produces other emotions which do not promote love. Emotions like anger, resentment and keeping record of wrongs. And these hinder the purposes of God in our lives and in the world.

3.      Jesus Christ is our perfect example. His meekness and humility helped Him respond respectfully even to the greatest disrespect from persons He could easily have annihilated with His breath. 

May we grow in love.
