Love is a Noun | Full Service Video

In this powerful exploration of 1 Corinthians 13, we're invited to see love not just as an action, but as a person embodied in Jesus Christ. The passage, often read at weddings, takes on new depth when we understand 'agape' as more than a verb - it's a noun, a name for God's unconditional love. This shift in perspective transforms how we approach the famous 'love is patient, love is kind' verses. Instead of a checklist for behavior, we're given a portrait of Christ's nature. As we gaze upon this portrait, allowing each brushstroke to speak to us, we're reminded of Jesus' patience, kindness, and unwavering belief in us. This understanding challenges us to let Christ's love wash over us, transforming us from the inside out. It's a powerful reminder that to love others well, we must first allow ourselves to be loved well by Jesus.
