Why is this funny?
“Love is Love.” But is it?
The Four Loves, CS Lewis
Storge - family love.
Eros - romantic love.
Phileo - deep friendship love.
Agape - sacrificial love. Used to describe God’s love for us.
Jesus Uses the Word Agape -
John 13:34-35 - 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love (agape) one another: just as I have loved (agaped) you, you also are to love (agape) one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love (agape) for one another.”
The Typical Mistake - Focus on the Command/Law.
vs. 34 - A new commandment I give to you
The Grace Correction - Focus on His Prior Love.
vs. 34 - just as I have loved (agaped) you
How have we received the Prior Love of Jesus Christ?
Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Pentecost/His Holy Spirit
and
Koinonia - The One Another Love of His Church Family/His Body
