Your Question:
What's the greatest love we can show to others?
Answer:
As I reflect on what it means to show love to others, I'm reminded of the words of Jesus in John 17:21-23, where He says, "That the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me." Our love for one another is a sign to all people that we are His disciples. It's not just about feeling a certain way or using certain words, but about living a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us. For me, as a pastor and a husband, I believe that the greatest love we can show to others is through our actions and our willingness to serve one another. As the Bible says, "Love covers over a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8). This means that we put the needs of others before our own, and that we are willing to forgive and overlook the mistakes of those around us. It's not always easy, but it's a fundamental aspect of living a life of love. As I look at my own family, I see this kind of love in action. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've learned to love each other through the ups and downs of life. We've also learned to teach our children, Joshua and Rebecca, the importance of loving one another, even when it's hard. By doing so, we're not only showing love to them, but also to God, who is the source of all love.
