Show and Tell

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13

 Recommended Reading: Galatians 5:5-6

The English language has nearly five hundred words that can function as both a noun and a verb—words like judge, mail, shop, aim, exhibit, balance, slide, file, place . . . and hundreds more. From the Bible’s perspective, the most important word on that list is love.

Uniquely, love is a noun that is best described by its actions. If we ask, “What is love?” we quickly move beyond the feeling-type definitions to the examples of love in action. When the apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth about love, he first spoke of it as a noun (1 Corinthians 13:1-3) but then moved to describing what love does (verses 4-8). Love is one of those things in life that may be hard to define, but we know it when we see it. Paul describes the actions that make us know we’re seeing true love: Love is patient and kind, doesn’t envy or boast, doesn’t act rudely, doesn’t promote self, is self-controlled, rejoices in good rather than evil, perseveres, trusts, hopes, and endures. Love, Paul says, is the greatest virtue.

Tell someone you love them today. Better yet, show them in person.
