The Life of Jesus, Part 7 (7/10)

DAY 4 OF 5

God is Love

I don't know your opinion about God. People have so many different views. When I was growing up, I was afraid of God. He judged us and had to punish us for our sin. My reformed background painted a negative and harsh picture of the character of God.

Jesus teaches that if people want to know God, they only have to look at him, Jesus to know God’s character. The disciples are calling him teacher and Lord. Jesus predicts that even though they say that now, they will betray him in the end and even run for their lives (like Peter). They could not believe it! They claim they will be faithful. But Jesus was right in his prediction. It shows us that even the disciples made big mistakes; it also shows the real character of God.

God's character is LOVE. God is love. God is forgiving. Even though we may betray him or run away from him. He will be faithful. This is his true character. As Christians we should be known by this same love. Our love for God and our love for others.

This is both amazing and difficult at the same time. Easier said than done. But as we learn to live in God's love, we can love freely.
