Lesson Of The Hour

How did Jesus show love? Christ healed the sick. He fed the hungry. Jesus raised the dead. Christ forgave sinners. Jesus preached the Gospel. He set an example of obedience to God’s commands. Jesus died for the world, because God so loved the world. By all of these actions, Jesus demonstrated His love for all. This lesson reflects upon Jesus love to increase our love. Those who love Christ keep His commands. Believers can increase their love for God the more that they perceive the greatness of their debt in sin and Christ’s desire to forgive those sins. Jesus fulfilled the Law and the Prophets through love. Jesus revealed that obeying the greatest commands fulfills the Law. Love in us fulfills the Law.Scripture Reading: Matthew 22:34-40 (read by Theron Golleher)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded February 5, 2017 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL
