Sublime

Our goal as people who follow Christ should be no less than becoming people who are madly in love with God.

In this passage, we see that John questions whether it is possible to truly have God’s love in you if you have no compassion for the poor.

Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy. Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers.

“I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me” (v. 45).

Do we really believe that “it ought to be the business of every day to prepare for our final day”?
