LOVE EXPRESSED IN ACTION

 

LOVE EXPRESSED IN ACTION

 

Jesus was=the GREATEST=OF SPEAKERS

He knew=HOW to use words

 

But more than that=HE KNEW LOVE

Had to be=EXPRESSED IN ACTION

When he saw a NEED=he filled it

He HEALED=

He=EXPRESSED LOVE IN ACTION

 

“When Jesus=CAME DOWN

From the mountain=great crowds followed him”                                                                             Matthew 8:1

 

What PRECEDED the gospel=

Today=is Jesus’ famous

SERMON ON THE MOUNT=and the BEATITUDES

About how a person can be=TRULY BLESSED

 

He spoke further on=

Almsgiving=Treasures=Worry=

And JUDGING OTHERS=as well as

THE GOLDEN RULE

 

He was a MAN WITH WORDS=

But more than that=He PROVED HIS POINT

WIT LOVE=EXPRESSED IN ACTION!

 

“Each one=should

TEST THEIR OWN ACTIONS

 

That they=can take pride in themselves

Alone=without comparing themselves

To someone else=

 

For each one=should

Carry their own load”                                                                                                            Galatians 6:4-5

 

“They=claim to know God

BUT BY THEIR ACTION=

They deny him”                                                                                                                        Titus 1:16

 

“In the same way=faith by itself

If it is= not accompanied

BY ACTION=is dead”                                                                                                            James 2:17

 

JESUS KNEW THIS=

Better than anyone=that is WHY

HIS FAITH=was always

Accompanied by deeds=BY ACTIONS=by love

LOVE EXPRESSED IN ACTION!

 

Jesus comes DOWN

From the mountain=after

The SERMON ON THE MOUNT

 

He is then APPROACHED=by

A leper=asking to be HEALED

 

He-Jesus=SAW THE NEED

HE HEALED=he returned the LEPER

To his home=to his FAMILY==and to

The world

 

Dear Lord=WE PRAY for that

DEEP FAITH IN YOU=and for the COURAGE

That we accompany our words=WITH ACTIONS

Just like our Jesus

LOVE EXPRESSED IN ACTION

 

Living with courage=EXPRESSING

Our faith=IN ACTIONS and deeds

 

“Be on your guard=stand firm

In the faith=BE COURAGEOUS=be strong

Do everything in love”                                                                                                               1 Corinthians 16:13

 

Dear Lord=I PRAY/we pray

That you give us=THE WORDS=to say

But more than that

 

To express=our words in love

LOVE EXPRESSED IN ACTION!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name==of our FOREVER LOVING=FORVER DOING=Holy Father God!
