‘Love Incarnates’
(Philippians 2)
Compassion doesn’t just reach down into suffering; it lives right in the middle of it. It laughs and cries with it. It incarnates. It intimately identifies with those that it seeks to love.
Thought: Love produces love but at a cost.
‘The cost of following love’ (Luke 9)
Dying to self.
Submitting to another (other led).
Obedient to love.
Thought: Pay the price so that you will receive the prize.
‘The reward of following’ (Hebrews 12:2)
Attaining the joy set before Him, Christ receives the Glory due him and draws a people to Himself.
Thought: Our prize is the attainment of God and each other.
