THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD

 

THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD!

Today I want to thank

God=and share=as I DO

Every day=the GREATEST love story

Ever told

The life and death of

Jesus Christ

And I want to BEGIN

By thanking the authors=the

Apostles=and the great SAINT PAUL

Who told us and taught us

WHAT LOVE IS

“LOVE is patient=

Love is kind”                                                                                           1 Corinthians 13 :4

And Paul tells us

That=”LOVE NEVER FAILS”                                                             1 Corinthians 13:8

And even though it

LOOKED like Jesus failed-

Failed in life=he CONQUERED death

With a RESURRECTED LIFE

The LOVE that Paul describes

Is not easy to come by=

Yet much LIVE

Day in and day out

Yet Jesus did it

He did it with FAITH-

He did it in HOPE=

And most of all

He conquered death

With his LOVE

For all human kind

“And now these three remain=

Faith=hope and LOVE

But the greatest of these

IS LOVE”                                                                                                 1 Corinthians 13:13

Love must be renewed continually

And it must be lived

Out DAILY

Which Jesus did

By HEALING the sick

By REACHING out to the POOR

And doing everything imaginable

For everyone that he LOVED

Love does not come

From force of will

Or bold actions

But by the GRACE OF GOD

And the GRACE of God

Was upon Jesus

“And the child grew

And became strong

He was FILLED

With wisdom

And the GRACE OF GOD

Was on him”                                                                                                     Luke 2:40

“GRACE and peace

To you from God

Our Father

And from the Lord

Jesus Christ”                                                                                                    Romans 1:7

“Let us then approach

God's throne of GRACE

With confidence

So that we may

Receive mercy

And GRACE

To help us

In our time of need”                                                                                  Hebrews 4:16

Paul's description of LOVE

Wants us to see

What love REALLY IS

And how it is MAGNIFIED

In the LIFE OF JESUS

“For I am CONVINCED

That neither death nor life-

Neither angels nor demons-

Neither the present-nor the future

NOR any powers-

Neither height nor depth-

NOR anything in else

IN ALL CREATION

Will be able

To separate us=

From the love of God

That is IN-

CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD”                                                                                      Romans 8:39

And NOTHING ever will

For Jesus CHRIST-

Is the definition of PERFECT LOVE

Dear Lord=help us LOVE ALL=

Just as you did=in the greatest story

The GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD!

In Jesus' name and in the NAME of our-ALL LOVING FATHER
