Love – one of the most common words in the Bible, especially in the writings of John. We hear it, see it, talk about it, encourage it – but what is it? You have heard many sermons from me that touch on the topic of love, but have any of those efforts really explained love?
C.S. Lewis has written a book about love entitled The Four Loves. In this book, Lewis explores the four Greek words that are translated into English as love. Bishop Curry has written about the way of love – how we might see love expressed in the world today. There are countless other books which attempt to enlighten us about this most commonly used word. And still we must ask, what is it and how do we show it? Does this word have the same meaning today as it did 2000 years ago, or has our culture jaded us in our outlook?
