What I Learned About Love from Jesus and My Dad

Jun 17, 2024    Cody Zimmerman

As we’ve made our way through First John, one theme has kept coming up: that we ought to love God and love one another. But all of this talk about “love” begs the question: “What even is love anyway?”


The author of First John answers this question in verses 16-18 of chapter 3 by drawing our attention to Jesus as the ultimate example of how to love.


One thing that Jesus and the good dads of the world have in common is that they both teach us about real love by example. In this message on Father’s Day, Cody unpacks three truths about the definition of love exemplified by Jesus and a good dad; three truths that are brought to light in 1 John 3:16-18.
