True Example of Love

“and you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.”  (Mark 12:30)

How could this possibly be proven? How might the All-Mighty make known this expression of love? How? By limiting His power when God was fully made flesh.

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in [the] Messiah Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8)

God Incarnate offered Himself up for us at Golgotha. It was then that He expended all His strength because He loved us. The enfleshed Creator loved us past the limit of His power when Jesus surrendered His spirit to the Father.

And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said,

 

\”Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.\”

Having said this, He breathed His last. (Luke 23:46)

the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. (Galatians 2:20c)

Father also showed His love and power when He raised Jesus from the dead. This was an awe-provoking revelation of “the surpassing greatness of His power.”

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in [the] Messiah, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. (Ephesians 1:18-21)

How will He demonstrate the strength of His love for us? In the same way He demonstrated His power in the Messiah’s resurrection.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus [the] Messiah; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself. (Philippians 3:20-21)

We’re called to this amazing marriage. The One who loves us with all His heart, soul, mind and strength is enabling His wife (the Church) to love Him the same way.

The Community of Disciples says, “We love You with all our strength because You love us with all Your might.”

We love, because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

This greatest of all commands is a call to corresponding love which begins now and extends into eternity.
